Service warning - how to reset when service done sooner

[GeoffW]

I've just done a service at 266,700 miles (schedule would be 270,000) on my '02 aero.

How do I reset the service warning (when it hasn't yet been displayed)? Doing the "Ignition on, press clear and hold for 8 or more seconds" doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas would be welcome

You can't reset the message until it actually appears unless you have access to tech-2.

Guess I'll wait till we hit 270,000 miles then

The notification appears 360 days since it was last reset (or possibly 720 days if someone has tinkered with the service interval). It's only a day counter on the earlier cars.
