Good morning,

All methods of resetting the engine oil life meter do not work with my 2016 vitara 1.6 diesel.

No 'oil' item in the dashboard menu (so no reset).

and FABIEN FERNANDEZ's method with the brake pedal does not work with my vehicle (same engine as him).

If anyone has another idea, I'm interested.

THANKS
