I know that there's a way to disable the MAINT REQ graphic that appears whenever my car wants an oil change. Can anyone help me with this? I think it requires me to hold down the trip mileage button while doing something else...

thanks

Place the trip odometer to "A", turn the car off, push and hold the trip reset button while you start the car, continue holding the button until the maintenance info resets. (I believe this is the correct procedure.)

 

It's in the owner's manual at the end of the section where it describes the different graphics.

They should have put it with the specific warning notice description.

They should have put a reference to it where it talks about oil changes.

They should have put a reference to it in the index.

I wrote the page number for it in all sorts of other places so next time it won't take me 20 minutes to find it.

 

Save yourself the aggravation...
just use a search engine http://www.bing.com/search?q=reset+m...&go=&form=QBLH
takes a few seconds.

 

Per el manual:
