On 2001 vehicles without the diagnostic connector in the engine compartment, the use of
the SIA reset tool is not possible. The service indicator may be reset using the reset mode

in the instrument cluster.

Reset procedure for high and low clusters with SIA III using the Reset Mode:

• Ignition key must be “off”

• Press and hold the trip odometer reset button in the instrument cluster (left button), and
turn the ignition key to the first position.

• Keep the button pressed for approximately 5 seconds until one of the following words
appear in the display: “OIL SERVICE, or “INSPECTION”, with “RESET”.

The service due is shown with “reset” if the coded minimum consumption limit has been
reached and resetting is possible. If “reset” is not shown, the minimum limit has not been
reached and resetting is not possible.

• Press and hold the reset button again until the word “RESET” begins to flash.
