Oil Change reset

Simple question... but I've not had it done yet and don't have manual close: Is resetting the "Oil Life Remaining" indicator as simple as toggling to it on the DIC and pressing "Reset"? If not, what? Thanks!

Instructions from the owners manual:

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System and the Oil Life Indicator​

The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change
your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use.
Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system so it can
calculate when the next oil change is required. If a
situation occurs where you change your oil prior to a
CHANGE OIL NOW message in the DIC being
turned on, reset the system.
After the oil has been changed, the CHANGE OIL NOW
message and the oil life indicator must be reset.
To reset the message use the following procedure:
1. Press the up or down arrow to scroll the DIC
to show OIL LIFE.
2. Once the XXX% ENGINE OIL LIFE menu item is
highlighted, press and hold the RESET button until
the percentage shows 100%.
If the percentage does not return to 100% or if the
CHANGE OIL NOW message comes back on
when you start your vehicle, the engine oil​

life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

Assuming that your 2006 is the same as the 2004, see this here in the Knowledgebase:
