Thanks for this saved me taking it into the dealer. 

I know where his is an old post, but it’s brilliant. I had an oil Change warning come up. I reset it by the first method which I got on U tube. However, three weeks later I got a message saying “Inspection due in 18 days”. This would not reset using the usual method. Stuck on the four way flashers first and Bob’s your uncle.....it worked! Thank you so much Tehany for this great tip!

^^^ Was that on a vRS?

Do you have it set for Variable Servicing so that you can not just go into Service Reset and change to 372 days / 9,400 miles or km?

Tried it a few times and it finally worked cheers guys

Outstanding! Service manager at Indy garage didn't have any idea how to do this.

 

Now can anyone help me with this...

 

How can I tell if the car thinks it's on a fixed or variable service programme?

Why would the Service Manager know, he is not a Mechanic or a Technician is he, but he should be the manager of those that should know, or made the effort to find out how to,

they do the job 5 1/2 days a week.

 

What did the car think it was on before going in for the service, was it counting to 9,400 miles to the service ,

what is it showing now.  372 days / 9,400 miles, or something else?

Think if it's done by the dealer it goes by oil life if you reset yourself think it pops up every 10k ?????

If done by the Dealer it can be set on Variable / Flexible or on Fixed as you wish.  Well where they do it properly. 

When on 'Fixed' you reset as you want for another 372 days / 9,400 miles when ever you want.

By service manager read senior mechanic - he's one and the same guy. Got the service warning reset ok but he was a bit stumped about the inspection warning. Either way - hazards on and now sorted!

 

I was/am on 'variable' but as I've averaged 18,000 between services, it'll be easy enough to reset after 9,400 then 'keep on trucking' until it warns me again.

Cant imagine the Monte would be much different from the mk2 Vrs?

 

On mine its a simple case of holding down the button on the side of the right indicator stock and it brings up the settings menu in the MFD from there you scroll down the appropriate menu after that and use the button on the bottom of the same stalk to select the service menu.

^^^ It is different.

On your vRS if it was set on Variable / Flexible servicing can you reset to 9,400 miles / 372 days or just because it is on Fixed Servicing?

On my 14 player superb elegance you hold the right hand button in then turn on ignition and it pops up on dash board

Previously posted by Seboni elsewhere....

With the car off, press and HOLD the 0.00 button for the odometer reset
Continue Holding the 0.00 button and turn the ignition key to on. MFD reads "Service Now!". Keep holding the 0.00 button and then press the MINUTE button for the clock set. Let go of everything and you're done

 

 

 

Note: you can only reset the service display/stats this way if its actually showing a service is due...also resetting this way puts the indicator into fixed interval mode (9300 miles/365 days)

 

 

Sorry...didnt see previous post, as I was composing this reply at the time....

Brilliant many thanks as wasn’t reset after had service it’s just getting annoyance till I get oil done to be safe in few weeks but yr tip works great!

As wacky is  it sounds - but it works! for inspection warning reset, do the following: activate the hazard warning lights, as it is on, press the 0.00 button, and turn the egnition on half turn. it will display the "are you sure message", and you should enter OK, and turn the egnition off and on again.

 

for oil warning, the same procedure without the hazard warning lights on.

 

Thank you x1000! ...my local dealer hadn't a clue how to reset the 'inspection now' message. They said they'd look into it - I'm still awaiting a reply. In future I'll refer them to this forum.
