That is not a model we have here in the US but this is the procedure for US models. It may work.

The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs where you change your oil prior to a change oil message being turned on, reset the system.

To reset the Engine Oil Life system, do the following:

With the engine off, turn the ignition to on.
Press and release the stem in the lower center of the instrument cluster until the oil leie message is displayed.
Once the alternating oil life and reset messages appear, press and hold the stem until several beeps sound. This confirms that the oil life system has been reset.
Turn the key to lock.

If the change oil message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

It is a round, thin plastic button that sticks out through the dash cluster, normally used for resetting the trip odometer.
