Step 3: Select “Vehicle”
In the “Settings” menu, you’ll see several options. Look for “Vehicle” and tap it to access the submenu.
Step 4: Scroll Down to “Oil Life”
Scroll down the submenu until you find “Oil Life.” Tap it to open the “Oil Life” menu.

In the “Oil Life” menu, you’ll see several options, including “Reset.” Select “Reset” to clear the oil light. You’ll be prompted to confirm your action. Tap “Yes” to proceed.
