Time for Regular Maintenance Alert

I had a service station provide the normal maintenance and I can't figure out how to permanently delete the "Time For Regular Maintenance" indicator. I can't find a permanent solution in the owners manuel and I am sure that's because they want me going to the dealer for this service. Please help.

Thank you,

Ian

    Thank you very much. This was very frustrating. The dealer wanted me to bring the car in to do what you explained and I executed in a few minutes.



    Thanks again,



    Ian

Try this procedure. It works on some models.

1: Turn key to position #1
2: Push, and "HOLD" the Trip Reset button.
3: After 2 seconds, keep holding the trip reset while turning the ignition switch to position #2.
4: Keep holding the trip reset button in for about 15 seconds, the amber triangle in the dash should start flashing. Release the trip reset button when it does. Turn ignition off, on, then back off.

If that doesn't do it, you may have to see a dealer. Good luck.

Does it require tune up

Regular Maintenance is vital to keeping your car on the road. The time and effort you put into keeping up with scheduled maintenance can save you big money in the long run.
Dealer 30k, 60k or 90k mile tune-ups can run from $250 for 3-4 hours of labor and basic maintenance, to over $1,000 at places with high labor costs and additional maintenance services, such as timing belt replacement.
If the mechanic identifies needed repairs, this can add a significant amount to your total.
At 90K repair shops normally replace the timing belt, or timing chain.
Your car require a tune up, if you have more than 30K on it. What kind of tune up your car needs depend on how many miles do you have on your car.
