Never had an original idea in my life, and so despite searching the forums I've had no luck, yet I am sure an answer is in here somewhere, and so sorry for not finding it.

Simply, I did an engine oil change today and can't work out how to re-set the engine oil life percentage screen. Can anybody help with either an answer, or point me in the direction of an appropriate post please?

Thanks in advance and cheers,

The instructions are in your manual.

Thanks, I'll go and have another look then...perhaps a 'mummy look' this time.

Cheers

Nope, nothing in the owner's manual, but not surprised given the screen is in the 'hidden' modes. Not even my dealer's service folks knew about the hidden modes, let alone how to access them???

So back to my original question - any ideas would be very much welcomed.

Cheers

For VT/VX:

IGN off, hold up+down buttons for trip computer down, turn IGN on.

wait until the cluster beeps, then release the up+down buttons and briefly press 'mode' (the cluster will beep again) and then hold up+down buttons down until it beeps again, then release.

For VY/VZ:

IGN off, hold up+down bottons in, IGN on, wait until it beeps, then release up+down and then hold 'set' down until it beeps again.

Hope this helps
