try this. i discovered how you reset the sid for maintenance messages, and yes the owners manual is incorrect. press the clear button until you get the first chime and the clear message, but continue to hold it and you will hear a second chime, and that should do it. the dealer actually wanted to charge me to do this. screw that.
