    get in your car,put the key in the ignition and turn it on,not turning the motor over.hold the info button for like 5 seconds and it should go away.

    heres what u should do if you wanna clear it...

    click the menu till u get to that periodic check...
    press and hold the menu button till it clears up...

    there u go...clear...

    ive done twice now, but when the periodic check showed up again I just left it alone it doesnt bother me much it will just beep twice when u start up ur ride...

    let me know if that works

    there's some kind of setting for the periodic service warning when I bought the car it was set to 12 000 km but I have to do the oil change every 6000km I told the dealer and they changed it to 6000 km in 2 min

    I was showed by a mitsu tech and you have to keep pressing the info button until theres a screen that has a little wrench at the bottom

    Hold down the info button for a few seconds and the little wrench shuld start flashing.

    Then press the info button 2 times quickly and it show up as cleared.

    **You can only clear the code when the car is not running and the key is in the on position. The code will then show as being cleared.

    Or if you want to just avoid it all you can take it to your dealership and they do it automatically after oil changes, but i change my own oil so this is for those guys who do the same lol
