Kia Sorento service required reset

The service required message will flash each time you turn on the ignition when your Kia Sorento exceeds the specified service interval. This interval must be adjusted after performing maintenance on your vehicle. The service required message needs to be reset so that the onboard computer keeps track of oil life. Below is how to reset the message

• Place the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine

  If your vehicle has the keyless starting system, press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice without pressing the brake pedal

• Go to the  USER SETTINGS mode by pressing the ❐ MODE button repeatedly

  The button is located on the steering wheel

• Find and select SERVICE INTERVAL

  Use the navigation switch to scroll and press OK button to enter the menu

• Make sure you activate the service interval function by giving a check mark

  In this menu you can set a maintenance reminder at a specific interval by adjusting the Time or Distance

• Use the navigation switch to change the digit value. Press the OK button to confirm the changes.

This procedure should work on third and fourth generations of Kia Sorento
