The system will initialize diagnostics and establish communication with the vehicle.


3. Perform the Automatic Oil Reset

To reset the service indicator automatically, select:

[Auto Oil Reset]


The device will confirm whether the reset can be performed.

Note: In this test case, the flexible service interval display is successfully reset.


Once communication is complete, the message “The flexible service interval display was successfully reset” will appear.


Press [OK] to finish.
