The longer you go without resetting, the light will do different things to remind you. At first it just shows up upon starting, then after several miles it will blink a few times, then eventually it will just stay on.

Yes. And I explained the blinking in my post above, guess I should have used "several" instead of "few". Until you reset the light, it will continue to blink several times, and after some period of time it will just stay on.

I am not sure what it is in miles, but in KM... but after 6,000 the light blinks for 15 seconds when you start the vehicle.

After 12,000km it stays on constantly after you start the vehicle.
