Hello,

Depending on the assembly date and location of the vehicle the oil light can be reset in one of two ways.
Turn the key to the on position (do not start), open the hood, look in the fuse box, there should be an Oil-reset button. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds, it will be reset.

If your vehicle does not have the reset switch, then turn the key to the on position (do not start). Press the gas pedal all the way to the floor for 3 times within 5 seconds. The oil change light will flash and then it will reset.
