I would take it back to the dealer. Ask them for a service bulletin specifically stating not to worry about it. Then you might want to weigh in on this:

They owe you a service
and by saying "don't worry about it" is just a brush off.
On the shameless commecial plug, this software will let you set these at your whim.

Never tried this or know if it will reset that particular indicator but the Mini2 forum had this.

It might take a few tries but the procedure shown at the MINI2 link below works fine.
