I have some very basic questions about how to use and understand the Maintenance Minder. My official 2015 CR-V owner's manual is surprisingly unhelpful and does not answer the following questions. (Also, my official owner's manual has an asterisk next to the MM feature descriptions that says "On available models," which is scary because I thought all 2015 CR-Vs would have MM and I assumed that mine (an EX) does.)
Thank you for helping out an ignoramus.
- Do the MM service lights and symbols automatically appear on the dashboard when maintenance is due? In other words, is it necessary to cycle through the menus on the top center console to attempt to figure out what maintenance is going to be due when, or when any kind of maintenance is due, will be it displayed in plain sight on the dashboard?
- Following question 1: Is it standard procedure to simply wait until MM service lights appear to schedule any sort of maintenance on the car, or should I be doing some other kind of periodic checks (and if so, what)?
- Are drivers ever supposed to reset the MM system on their own, or will the dealership/ service center reset that after doing the scheduled maintenance?
