Service Indicator

[IceBoy]

Hello All,

 

Hope everyones Gal's are fine ?

 

I can't seem to reset the service indicator in the dash? I have followed the format in the FAQ 3 times...still no luck.

 

Any other ideas?

Yes, with the ignition off, press and hold the trip reset button, turn the ignition on (dont start the car) still holding the button in until the service indicator goes out (approx 5-10 secs).

1. Ensure ignition is switched off.

 

2. Press and hold the trip meter reset button whilst turning on ignition.

 

3. Release trip meter reset button.

 

4. Turn the MINUTE hand of the digital clock to the right.

 

5. Turn off ignition. Indicator has been set to zero.

The explained method always works for me. But is there also a simple method to take a few thousand miles off my display? Something like 80,000 would be nice.
