Default AU Dashboard Service icon

I just got my car serviced by a trusted family mechanic. But I guess he doesnt have any experience with the computer system in my Au series1 as the stupid spanner icon thing is still showing on the dash. I searched through the workbook i got but couldnt find any reference to it at all so wondering if anyone else knows how to reset the dam thing

CHeers

With the key at "ON" and engine "OFF" (not running), hold the dash stalk in for 10 seconds...

The book i got from SuperCheap doesnt appear to say anything about the computer system, it seems to be more a 'take it apart' book :|
Unless its hidden away in some text in a obscure section

it will be under engine tune up and after the instructions on how to change the oil and filter, it should tell you how to get rid of that icon
