Introduction

The Maintenance Reset Function plays an important role in the modern vehicle, which allows owners and technicians to reset various maintenance-related notifications, such as oil change reminders, tire rotation schedules, and inspection interval alerts. When a vehicle reaches a certain mileage or time interval, it may require inspection or maintenance tasks such as oil changes, filter replacements, tire rotations, and more.

It helps drivers and mechanics stay organized and adhere to the manufacturer's recommended service intervals, which can contribute to the longevity and reliability of the vehicle.
