If you've still got your manual, the instructions for this are in there.

I'm with you as well. I had mine serviced and it still says "service" when I turn my car on. I'm not taking it back in to have them turn it off. Gotta be a way to do it?

1. Insert your key into the ignition.
2. Push in the odometer reset button, hold it in, and turn the key to the first click.
3. The display should read either "oil" or "service" if it does not, repeat steps #1 and #2.
4. To reset, pull out your instrument light dimmer button at the bottom of the tachometer.
5. Turn the ignition to the off position. When the ignition is turned back on, the display should be back to the trip odometer.

this is what it says in the manual

switch of ignition

press button 2 (left hand side) and hold while switching on the ignition.the display should now read SERVICE

press and hold button 1 (right hand side) until the word SERVICE is cleared from the display

try that it should work i guess

There were two sets of instructions I found when searching. BigBlokey has kindly provided the other set. Works on later models.

Ok. Let me make sure I'm doing this right. I put the key in the ignition. I hold down the left button and turn the key to the first click. Now my message screen reads that dumb a@# message about depressing the break and putting into gear. There is no "SERVICE" message. I only get that message when I turn the car on and put it in gear. Am I doing something wrong?
