These instructions apply to the Hyundai Bayon Mk1 (BC3) 2021-Present.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
When the service reminder appears on your Hyundai Bayon (2021–present), you clear it from the instrument-cluster User Settings menu using the steering-wheel buttons. No diagnostic tool is needed. Do the oil and filter change first. The reminder is part of the Bayon’s Service Interval system — a maintenance prompt that counts down to the next service, not a warning that something has gone wrong.
What the Service Reminder Means on the Bayon
The Bayon’s Service Interval reminder is a fixed-interval counter: it tracks the distance driven and the time elapsed since the last reset, and when either reaches the pre-set service point it displays the reminder to tell you a service is due. It is not measuring oil quality or engine health — it is simply a scheduling aid built into the cluster.
Because it is a counter, the reminder stays until you reset it, and it will keep reappearing at every start-up until you do. Changing the oil does not clear it by itself; the car has no way to know the work was done unless you tell it through the menu. That is why the reset is a deliberate menu step, and why you should only do it once the service is genuinely complete.
Reset After the Service Only
The Service Interval counter just measures distance and time. Reset it once the work is done so the next reminder is right. Before you dive into the menu:
- Park on level ground with the parking brake applied.
- Make sure the oil and filter change (or scheduled service) is finished.
- Switch the ignition on with the engine off — the cluster and steering-wheel buttons need to be live.
- No tools are needed; the whole reset is done from the driver’s seat.
How to Reset the Bayon Service Reminder
- Turn the ignition on (engine off).
- Press the ‘MENU’ button on the steering wheel and select ‘User Settings’.
- Scroll to ‘Convenience’ and press ‘OK’.
- Select ‘Service Interval’, then ‘Reset’, and confirm with ‘OK’.
Use the up/down and OK controls on the steering wheel to move through the menu. The last confirmation is the part that actually clears the counter, so make sure you press OK on the Reset prompt rather than just highlighting it.
If It Doesn’t Reset
If the reminder is still showing after you back out of the menu, run through these checks:
- You didn’t confirm — step through Service Interval → Reset → OK and watch for the confirmation.
- Ignition position — make sure the ignition is on (engine off) so the menu responds.
- Cycle the ignition — switch off, wait a few seconds, switch back on and repeat the menu steps.
- A different warning is lit — that’s a fault, not the service counter, and won’t clear from this menu.
What Happens Next
Once the reset is confirmed, the Service Interval counter returns to its full value and the reminder disappears. It should not show again at the next start-up, and the cluster will quietly count down toward the next service. Only the reminder is affected — your trip data, clock and other User Settings stay as they were.
How Often It Comes Up
Reset the Service Interval every time you complete a service or oil change. The exact distance and time before the next reminder depend on your engine and driving conditions, so follow the maintenance schedule in your owner’s handbook rather than assuming a fixed figure. If you service the car early, reset it at that point so the counter always reflects the most recent work.
