Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone know how to reset the maintenance reminder on a ralliart. Also how do I set the time and distance on the reminder?

 

Nvm guys... Problem solved

 

I'd still like to know this info. Thanks

 

Me too. Please post an answer.

 

I stole this off rdenis from Mitsubishi forum, then made minor changes.

Some useful info fromthe service manual - here is how to reset your Service Reminder, Change the Maintenance Schedule (factory default is 6 months/7,500 miles but those of us requiring the "Severe Maintenance" schedule can change it as outlined below), or inactivate it altogether:

HOW TO CANCEL THE SERVICE REMINDER WARNING

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
2. By operating the meter information switch, the warning period is displayed on the multi information display.
3. Press the meter information switch once for 1.2 seconds or longer.
4. The service reminder indicator flashes.
5. While the service reminder indicator flashes, press the meter information switch once for less than 1.2 seconds.
6. The service reminder indicator is turned ON, and "CLEAR" is displayed on the multi-information display for 3 seconds.
7. After "CLEAR" is displayed for 3 seconds, the warning period to the next time is displayed.

HOW TO SET THE SCHEDULE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
2. By operating the meter information switch, the warning period is displayed on the multi information display.
3. Press the meter information switch once for 1.2 seconds or longer.
4. The service reminder indicator flashes.
5. While the service reminder indicator flashes, press the meter information switch 3 times consecutively for 1.2 seconds or longer.
6. The service reminder indicator is turned ON, and the current schedule type(e.g. NAS 10, NAS 20 etc..) is displayed on the multi information display.
7. While the current schedule is displayed, press the meter information switch 3 times consecutively forless than 1.2 seconds.
8. The multi information display is shifted to the schedule selection mode.
9. When the meter information switch is pressed for less than 1.2 seconds, the schedule is shifted, and when the switch is pressed for 1.2 seconds or longer, the displayed schedule is set.
10. The schedule set in Step 9 is displayed for 3 seconds, and the warning period to the next time is displayed.

By setting to "OFF Display" or "Function OFF" when the schedule is set, the service reminder function can be inactivated.

When "OFF Display" is selected
_ Even when the check warning period is reached, the service reminder display is not displayed.
_ Even if the service reminder screen is displayed by the meter information switch
operation, "OFF" is displayed.

When "Function OFF" is selected
_ Even when the check warning period is reached, the service reminder display is not displayed.
_ Even with the meter information switch operation, the service reminder screen is not displayed.

 

I have to do this just infrequently enough that I have to look it up every time.
Thanks for the write up, it's now in evernote so I can find it in the car.

 

I found these procedures the other day after accidentally resetting the remainder lol definitely helpful info... the other thing I will mention probably already known but the distance remainder only goes down in 100 miles intervals. Something I did not know until reading manual and was wondering why it wasn't going down hehe

 

Can that service light be triggered by the check engine light too? My check engine light is on for an o2 sensor and my service light is also on. I've tried checking the tire pressure and clearing it but its still on.

 

I don't think check engine light has anything to do with the service reminder. I also had a defected O2 sensor, I don't recall any changes with the service reminder. If your tire pressure is "wrong", it should be the low pressure warning light. Try to reset the service reminder, just follow the instructions.
