    i ran out and everything reset itself after i filled and restarted. if not, you may have to have the dealer do it? not sure, maybe any shop can.

    Turn the car on and off 3+ times in a row. That should clear the visible codes, but the code is still logged internally until actively cleared.

    RTFM :D

    MFD: Lots, but all related to the display. Multi-Function Display or ManuFacturer Display are the most common
    CEL: Check Engine Light
