should be in your owners manual. I don't know if it is the same on your model but. turn car on with engine off, press and hold info button for a few seconds then something will pop up on the DIC. scroll through until you see oil reset, hold arrow button on the steering wheel, DIC will flash ACKNOWLEDGED.

Another way is to put the key in the "Run" position (engine off), and press the accelerator to the floor three times. Should reset the oil life.

That's been the fall back for reset for a while.
