    An independent garage changed the oil and filter. He was unable to turn off the warning light and followed the suggested procedure: How to turn off the "Maintenance Required" light
    Before turning the car on press and hold the trip meter button. Continue pressing it while you put your foot on the brake and hit the power button. Once the power is on, the odometer will show five dashes instead of numbers. Continue to press the trip meter until all the dashes go away. It didn't work. HELP!

    You first must make sure that ODO/TRIP display is in the odometer mode, not trip A or B, before the car is turned off. Only then should you start the reset procedure which you outlined above.

    I'll try that as I recall the odometer said trip A.
    Thank you for your help.
