    On my 2018, press the odometer button to "Trip A" . Turn off the ignition switch. With the switch in the off position, press and hold the Odo button, then turn the ignition switch to on, but...DO NOT START THE ENGINE. Starting the engine will cancel the reset mode. Hold the Odo button until "Trip A" reads 00000.0.

    (I had this issue 2 weeks ago)

    What Ranger posted is how I do my 2020 as well. How do you reset yours? I wonder if is a Canadian thing as the manual notes "USA Only".

    maybe the op refers to a different thing ? i know the oil thing can be reset on pre 2020s, but not on 2020+
    not sure about maintenance required one. i see all my maintenance on the center screen.

    Good point, he may be referring to something different, I assumed he was talking about the maintenance reminder that pops up. At 5k intervals my center screen says "maintenance required" but at 10k intervals it reads "oil service required." I did my first oil change at 5k so now my screen is "off" on the message. I've been leaving the message up since 15k and will reset here soon when I do my 20k oil change. Hopefully that gets the message back on track. OCD life...

    So you are right. After I posted I realized I forgot to check YouTube. Sorry about that. It’s apparently the 5k thing since I have only 6k on it and changed it at 4K because I was headed on a 5 k trip, in the middle of that trip on trails in the San Juan Mtns!!
