Reset State Inspection

I am familiar with resetting service intervals for brakes, oil, fluids etc. However, the State Inspection item does not seem to reset using the same sequence. When I scroll through to the State Inspection icon and hold down the Reset button (when I usually see the RESET? option) it doesn't appear to allow me to reset this. Is there an additional function as its a state requirement?

I live in Canada and we do not have that requirement here.

Thanks for anyone's help.
Cheers,
Angus

Yep - I wish I could turn it off since I don't have a state inspection requirement where I live.

It's not part of the procedure for the oil, cabin filter, brakes etc...
When on that screen for inspection, there's an option at the bottom that says set service date.
Hit that and set it out for a year or two depending on how often your province requires it. Set it for far out so you don't have to deal with it again for those who don't get inspected.

I don't get state inspections in TN cause I'm in VA, but I do get my tags renewed and I use it for that purpose as it takes two weeks or more sometimes for me to get renewal tags from TN, so an early alert is good for me.
Wish I had it on my other cars.
