The phrase describes a procedure performed on a specific vehicle model and year to turn off a dashboard indicator. This indicator illuminates to remind the driver to schedule routine upkeep, such as oil changes and filter replacements. The process involves a sequence of steps executed using the vehicle’s controls to acknowledge that the service has been completed and to deactivate the warning light.
Deactivating this indicator is important for several reasons. Primarily, it prevents driver distraction caused by a persistent visual alert. Furthermore, it ensures that the vehicle’s onboard computer accurately reflects the service status, which is important for future maintenance scheduling and resale value. Historically, mechanics or dealership staff would perform this task, but it is now designed to be user-executable, empowering owners to manage their vehicle’s maintenance indicators independently.
