Turning Maintenance Monitoring On?

[img=http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9708/dsc00014nr8.th.jpg]

This "OFF" signal has been on my car for quite some time now, before I went in to try and fix the 'veer to the left' problem. It use to monitor my status and tell me how many more KM's to go before I had to bring it in for an oil change.

How do i revert it back to that status?

I've looked in the manual, but i didn't come across anything helpful.

Anyone know?

Thanks

Are you talking about on the main dash or on the Navigation system?

Guess I should have looked at the picture. Duh.

Turn the car off and cycle through until you get to settings. Hold the button to go into the settings and then pick maintainance form the list. It'll give you options to set what schedule you want it on.

Hello.

I can't seem to cycle until i get to settings. All I get is Trip A, Trip B and OFF. When I get to OFF I hold the button, and the "key" icon will blink, but nothing happens.

Perhaps a little more instruction?

Thanks.

well if you figure out how to turn it on I want to turn mine off... I keep track of my oil changes and I do my inspections myself. I also do them at least every 5000kms not 6.

I'll check the manual. Last time I needed it, it was there. Might have to have the key one click forward.

I'll check and post up next time I'm on.

lol, took me forever to figure this out since the manual doesn't mention it....but you HAVE to have the ignition turned to on, be in park or neutral (manual) and the PARKING BRAKE must be on. My manual said nothing about the parking/ e-brake needing to be on

OhAteLancer.... here it is

turn ur ignition 1 click foward, scroll to the maintance thing with INFO then do the following...
LONG click = hold INFO for 3 sec or more until u hear the beep

1) 3 LONG click, during the LONG click, u'll see the wrench blinking
2) after the 3 LONG click, u'll enter some sort of service mode where u can change the option
3) then 3 short click, then u can change the maintance option, you might want to switch to one of the NASXX
4) and 1 LONG click to confirm

Hi there.

I held the INFO button until I got to the blinking wrench, but then I couldn't get it to enter into that service mode.

Maybe I missed something? Any other suggestions/methods?
