The Dacia Sandero (Mk3 / DJF, 2021–present) resets its service reminder from the instrument-cluster buttons — no tools needed. There are two separate resets: the oil service and the longer maintenance service. Do the actual work first; only reset the oil item after an oil change.
Oil Service Reset
- Switch the ignition on but do not start the engine.
- Press the cluster scroll button (1) repeatedly until “Mileage before oil service” is shown.
- Press and hold button (2) for 5 seconds — the remaining distance to the next service appears.
- Press and hold button (2) for 10 seconds.
- Switch the ignition off. The oil service is reset.
Maintenance Service Reset
- Switch the ignition on (engine off).
- Scroll with button (1) until “Mileage before service” is shown.
- Press and hold button (2) for 5 seconds, then press and hold it again for 10 seconds.
- Switch the ignition off. The maintenance service is reset.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the two resets?
“Oil service” tracks the shorter oil-change interval; “maintenance service” tracks the longer full-service interval. Reset only the one(s) you’ve actually carried out.
Does resetting the light service the car?
No — it only clears the reminder and restarts the counter. Change the oil and filter first, then reset the oil item.
Do I need a scan tool?
No — both resets are done from the dashboard buttons on the Mk3 Sandero.
