My maintenance indicators for my cabin filters and oil recently reset themselves. My cabin filters were due and my oil was approaching service, then I turned the car on one day to go to work and noticed the warnings weren't coming on. I checked the maintenance section in I-drive and the cabin filters said they still had 2600kms left and the oil had over 2000kms left. Anyone ever experience this?

Not sure about cabin filters, but "miles to go" until next oil change will adjust up or down depending on driving style. Shorter trips will cause it to advance faster than normal (miles due will come off the counter faster than miles driven), longer drives will cause it adjust the other way. So, if you recently went on a long drive after mostly shorter drives, then I would expect it to increase the mileage until the next change causing you to think it "reset" itself.

That explains the oil. But the cabin filters from 0kms to 2600kms?
