Solution

1. Preparation

Gather required tools and ensure you are in a safe environment.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.

2. Turn the Ignition On

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Alternatively, press the start button without pressing the brake pedal in push-to-start models.

3. Set the Trip Meter

Press the trip button repeatedly until the trip meter is displayed (not the odometer).

4. Reset the Maintenance Light

With the trip meter displayed, turn the ignition off.
While holding the trip button down, turn the ignition back to the "ON" position.
Continue holding the trip button until the maintenance light blinks and then goes out, which may take about 10 seconds.

5. Confirm Reset

Release the trip button and turn the ignition off again.
Turn the ignition back on and confirm that the maintenance light is no longer illuminated.
