Just changed the oil and filters on your car, and the service reminder light is back on, telling you to schedule a change in X kilometers? Whether you did the change yourself at home and now don’t know how to reset it, or you had it done at a mechanic who forgot to reset the service interval on your Hyundai i30, you’re probably considering a few solutions.
The first option is to go back to the mechanic, which means spending more money on fuel and wasting time. The second option is to find someone on OLX who does diagnostics at home, costing you 100-150 lei, plus potentially travel fees. Neither of these options sounds great, right?
Well, you’ve come to the right article. We’ll show you how easy it is to reset the service interval on your Hyundai i30 at home, without spending any money and in just a few minutes. After reading this article, you’ll know exactly how to perform the reset for your car and be able to do it every time. You just need a mobile phone, an internet connection, your car keys, and 5 free minutes.
The service reminder light is a feature on many cars that helps you remember when it’s time for an oil change. However, if you miss the recommended interval, it becomes annoying, and the light will constantly appear on the dashboard every time you start the car. It’s even more frustrating when you know it should have been reset after the change but wasn’t.
The simplest way to reset it would have been for the mechanic to do it during the oil change, which takes only 2-3 minutes. But if you forgot or didn’t have a professional multi-brand tester at home, this article is for you.
In this article, you will learn how to reset the service interval on your Hyundai i30 by yourself, at home, without paying anything, just using a mobile phone and an internet connection. Note that the phone needs to run on Android; if you don’t have one, borrow it from a friend who does, or ask them to follow the procedure below.
