dyck888 · Oct 4, 2009, 09:07 PM

does anyone knows how to reset the mileage counter for periodic inspection back to 5000mi? i did my oil change today and i still have 900 miles left on the counter. i tried to reset it but the screen shows 5900mi/7months. i dont know if i did something wrong or its just ok?

when the dealer reset mine, it said next service in 10000 miles.... so I dunno if that's normal or not.

Actually that makes sense, I had my oil changed at 5K and next inspection would be for the 15K service. Goofy.

I belive it's this while in park and the car in assc mode on the ignition press and hold the info button go to the service reminder. Hold the button for 5-8 secounds until it blinks dashed lines. Then press it again. Should reset. I belive I might be wrongbut I think that's how I did mine.

Don't have the manual infront of me, but I assume it tells you in there.

I did it after my oil change and it only adds 5000 to the mileage. I had drive around for week with the maintenance reminder light on, and when I reset it subtracted that additional mileage from the 5000, making my next oil change due at 4750 miles. I tried resetting again and now it reads 9750 miles. Its a crappy system. The manual says the dealer can reset the interval to anything you want.
