Background
The new software in the SID requires a different procedure to cancel the “TIME FOR SERVICE” message with the CLEAR button
on the SID.
Note that the normal procedure using Tech 2 still applies.
Procedure
To reset the “TIME FOR SERVICE” message on the SID (without using Tech 2), the following procedure must be followed:
1 Press the CLEAR button once.
2 Press the CLEAR button a second time and hold it pressed in for at least 8 seconds.
The SID will give two acoustic signals one shortly after the other. On the second signal the message “SERVICE” will start to
flash.
3 Start the engine to make sure that the message has been cancelled.
