Default Remove Maintenance Required message.

I’m on a trip and “maintenance required “ shows up on my dash. I am due for L Certified free maintenance.
I intend to have that done when I return home.
Trouble is I can’t access the multifunction menu, that is : tire pressure, lane centering, steering assist, etc. because of the “Maintenance Required message.
is there any way I can remove this message so I can access the menu?

Try this:
Turn the ignition on.
Flip the odometer/trip display to “TRIP A” mode.
Switch the ignition off.
Hold down the “Trip Meter Reset” button while turning the ignition switch back on.
The maintenance light should blink, go solid, and then turn off.

Good Luck!

When mine does that, I press the return button on the top right of the controls on the steering wheel and it goes to the normal display.
