It has been one year since I've had the car, but it has only 5000 miles, so I guess I have to put up with the blinking wrench for another 5000 more miles when I bring it in for the first oil change. Oh well.

reset.txt file from my collection... is this what you did?

Here's how to reset your service indicator:

1. Switch on ignition. (But do not start car!)
2. Select maintenance indicator (so it's in the display) within the first 4 seconds.
3. Switch off the ignition within the display period of 10 seconds. (Maintenance should remain in the display).
4. Push the service button (button on the left of the cluster) and hold it while you switch the ignition on.
5. Hold the service button depressed for another 10 seconds. After that the oil change interval display is reset.
6. After completing this task, the display shows the remaining distance (startup distance) for the next maintenance interval.

I have a 2008 and this is the only thing that worked for me. Thanks!

I get the double wrench and have always been past the mileage rather than the calendar; so I think it is something else. I believe it says in the manual though.

There are two service protocols - mostly the same items on the list but some things are only done at every other service interval. One wrench is for the "A" service and two wrenches indicate the "B" service interval.
