Default Changed oil, still 0% life showing---kiss it where?

We changed our own oil and filter and used synthetic oil. But it still says 0% life remaining. Is there something you have to do to the readout to make it start over? Thank you all so much!! FIXED!!! FIXED!!! FIXED!!! My son asked me if I found a solution. My wife told him he'd have to kiss it a certain spot right above the mufflers. He thought my idea of making a wish and kicking the gas pedal three times was silly too till he tried it!!

The owner's manual spells out the steps to get the reading back to 100 (or 99)%.

The easiest way to reset it is to turn the key to the "on" position (do not start car), and pump the gas peddle three times! :D Done!

The DIC Clear works too, the gas peddle way was put in so the oil change people wouldn't get the buttons dirty.
