thank you vey helpful instructions.

The only thing is - when i did it the first time i had trip A on, so when i did the procedure and turned the ingnition to on, it showed something like SR off/on. Does this mean anything?

You might want to try this...

Quote:

1. Turn on the ignition and make sure it is on your odometer display, not the trip display.
2. Turn off your ignition. Hold down the trip meter reset button and turn the ignition on. Keep the button pushed in.
3. The maintenance required light will flash for a few seconds. when it turns off, let go of the reset button.

I looked through the manual, and I cant find what the Sr thing is. I accessed it by holding the trip meter and moving the key to the ON position.

Any ideas on what i disabled?
