ok to turn service light you need to

put key in ignitino and turn it to accessories. push and hold trip button and while holding it turn key to ignition but dont start engine. keep holding button until you hear a beeping noise. release button and service light should be gone and trip meter will return to last reading.

If service light refuses to go out then there is more serious problems than overdue for a service.

sometimes trip comp will reset to 000kms

hope this helped
