Reset Oil Life???

hey guys, i am having a bit of an issue resetting the oil life on my car.

I know you are supposed to hold down the tach button on the left side, but when i do this it takes me to this numbered menu with an option to unlock for example. I remember seeing the option to reset stuff like engine oil and brakes, but i cant get there anymore.

what the hell am i doing wrong?

If you push engine start without putting your foot on the brake, so basically don't start the car just push the ignition, wait until the service due date goes away then hold the rest button for a few seconds it should show you the oil rest, front brake pads rest if you push it again it cycles through all of them. The one you want to reset you will need to hold for a few second it will ask to confirm.

This is a youtube link that explains the oil reset procedure:

PS: Do not have your foot on the brake when you push the engine start button, you do not want to start the car, you just want to wake up the electronics.

I kept fiddling with the button and eventually got it to display this.

thanks!
