Ensure the vehicle is in the "OFF" position.
Set the gear to "Park" (if automatic) or ensure the vehicle is in neutral (if manual).
Have the vehicle key fob or key ready.

2. Turn on Ignition

Insert the key into the ignition or press the "Start" button without pressing the brake pedal.
Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Ensure that the odometer display is showing the total mileage, not the trip mileage.

Press and hold the trip meter reset button on the instrument cluster.
While holding the button, turn the ignition to the "OFF" position.
Then turn the ignition back to the "ON" position while still holding the trip meter reset button.

4. Final Checks

Release the trip meter reset button.
Turn the ignition to the "OFF" position again.
Start the engine to ensure the maintenance light remains off.
