It is not too difficult. Here are the steps:

Turn the ignition on. Fully depress the accelerator to the floor 3 times in 5 seconds. The light should flash then turn off. If it doesn't you need to repeat this.

Here is a guide that helps as well in case others visit this page and don't have this exact vehicle:

Lastly, I attached the process from the manual that spells this out as well. Thanks
