Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
If the engine oil life is not shown, press the SEL/RESET button on the steering wheel repeatedly until it appears.
Press and hold the SEL/RESET button for more than 10 seconds to show the engine oil life reset mode.
Select 'RESET' by pressing the INFO button.
Press the SEL/RESET button to reset the engine oil life display to '100'.
