With the engine off, turn on the ignition switch. Use the "MENU" button and the scroll adjustment wheel to navigate the dashboard display to the "Oil Life" screen. Press and hold the "SET/CLR" button for a few seconds to reset the oil life to 100%. Turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset.

I've been driving a Cruze for five years, and resetting the maintenance light is actually quite straightforward. First, turn the key to the ignition-on position without starting the engine, then press and hold the trip button on the dashboard for about ten seconds until you see the maintenance light start flashing, then release the button. Next, quickly press the trip button twice, and you should see the maintenance light turn off, indicating a successful reset. If it doesn’t respond, don’t worry—different model years may have slightly different methods; for older models, you might need to press the accelerator pedal a few times while operating the button. If you still can’t figure it out, just check the owner’s manual—it definitely has the detailed steps. It’s a good habit to reset the light right after maintenance so it can remind you promptly when the next service is due.
