Default Clear the Periodic Maintenance Warning?

So I'm over 2k into having the blasted Periodic Maintenance Warning appear on my dash when I start the car. I know its simply a timed warning to appear every 5k, but how the heck do you clear it? Its go to be some button combo while turning ignition and standing on your head while clapping or some evil arrangement like that. Any guesses?

I had "Take a Rest Warning" or "Take a Break Warning" before. to adjust that I had to turn the key to 'ON'. press 'INFO' button until menu shows up.
Holding 'INFO' is universal for enter. Pressing 'INFO' let you select next (no previous or back) you just have to cycle back through.

Maybe you can go through & do Factory Reset? that might clear it.

Do you have Navigation? If you do you can go to 'INFO' on the Navigation and go to 'Maintenance' and you can clear when you had your "oil changed" "tire rotated" etc. Hope that helps.

You were headed in the right direction!

I stopped by the dealer. Here are the basic steps to turn it off (its not word for word as I'm going from memory):
  • Turn off ignition completely
  • Ensure drivers door is closed completely
  • Press the "Info" button on the instrument panel
  • Go to the Maintenance option and hold "Info" down to access it
  • Repeatedly press "Info" to get the word "Clear" to display on the instrument panel
  • Hold down the "Info" button to clear the maintenance timer
  • All done!

THANK YOU!

Haha, this is starting to bother me. Of course, I don't think that is going to help my TPMS light.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

Change rims? Need tire pressure sensors installed.

New tire pressure sensors? Need to sync them up.

Rotate tires? Need to sync tire pressure sensors.

Need to sync sync tire pressure sensors? Have to go to a Mitsu dealership and pay around $100.

Ouch!

Odd that you have to sync them when rotating. I rotated front to rear / rear to front and they didn't need to be sync'd... Of course my wheels/tires are stockers...

^ I rotate em every oil change. Mine are stock tires and rims too.
You need to find stereo shops they are much cheaper than mechanics for that type of things. Sometime you will have to go through several shops to find a reliable one.

I once had a immobilizer problem it works so good that it even prevented me from starting the car.
Dealer was gonna charge me $160 just to find out (diagnostic test) and additional labor $80/hr and parts.
I took it to performance shop three times and they would charge me $100/hr
I would still have a problem every now & then so I decided to take my car to a different shop and they recommended me to a stereo shop.
Stereo Shop bypassed the immobilizer for $80 and never had a problem since.
I wasted so much money.




No money for lighter wheels or better tires.
