With Steering Wheel

Time needed: 3 minutes

Here we have a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze and will show you how to reset the oil change reminder as you can see it’s on display. We’ll be using the dash screen along with the buttons on the steering wheel. So let’s try to do it.

  1. Switch the key on

    First, pull the key out, put it in, turn it to the second position without starting the car

  2. Go to the ? CAR tab

    Then you’re going to have to go ahead and scroll through on the ? CAR tab here with your arrows ◄ ► button 

  3. Scroll to the OIL LIFE screen

    Next, use the ▲ up or ▼ down arrows to find where you’re at the OIL LIFE screen

  4. Press and hold this ✓ check button

    Once you’re there, as you can see down here it says to check to reset. So we’re going to press and hold this ✓ check button for a few seconds

  5. Select YES

    At this point,  it’s going to verify that you want to make sure you reset it so you don’t do it accidentally. So we’re gonna go ahead and hit the ✓ checkmark again for YES and there we go we have now reset our oil life monitoring system to 100%

If you have a more basic model, you can navigate through one of the left stalks. So let me just show you what it’s doing.

  • First insert the key and put the ignition on
  • Then go ahead and hit the MENU button and you’re gonna set it off to the ? car tab
  • Next, you can gonna rotate the ▲▼button to scroll through and you’re just gonna get the OIL LIFE
  • Now right here where it says SET/CLR you’re gonna press and hold it down
  • When it asks you if you want to reset, you go up to YES and press the SET/CLR button again
