Servicing Warning Message (Brazilian Method)

Over a year ago I cleared the service warning message using the Brazilian method (worked fine) and was expecting the service message to pop up a year later.

So far nothing. Surprised

1. Turn on the ignition switch
2. Open the hood
3. Open the driver door
4. Note: Maintenance resetting information is not displayed on the instrument cluster. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, and brake pedal, and hold for 60s.
5. Turn off the ignition switch
6. Turn on the ignition switch and check whether maintenance information is cleared
7. If maintenance information is not cleared, repeat the procedure. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

How do you open the hood (I suppose in Britain it will be the bonnet) before you open the door. Do you have an assistant, or climb out the window? Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Well I performed a "Brazilian" last November just after a service by a local indie

Sure enough, a few weeks ago I got a "Service due in 1500 miles" message and then yesterday another message saying "Service due in 950 miles or 21 days"

I am not sure whether it is going by date, mileage or both as my annual miles will be almost exactly 16k
