2 Answers
BYD Qin maintenance light reset steps are as follows: 1. With the engine turned off, press and hold the short-distance counter reset button below the tachometer. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, release the short-distance counter reset button, and the "SERVICE" indicator will appear on the display. 3. Pull out the minute button on the clock, rotate it to the right, and the mileage will be displayed on the screen. 4. Turn off the engine to reset the reminder message. 5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and the "SERVICE" indicator will disappear.
Shortly after I bought the BYD Qin, the maintenance light came on, which is actually the system reminding me that it's time for servicing. Based on my experience, the reset steps are quite simple, but you need to be careful to avoid incorrect settings. First, make sure the car is parked in a safe location, completely turned off with the key removed. Then, insert the key but do not start the engine, just turn it to the ON position, and the dashboard screen will light up. I used the control buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate to the settings menu, found the maintenance option, and selected reset to confirm. The whole process takes about one or two minutes and requires no tools. If you don't reset it in time, the light will keep flashing, which might make me mistakenly think the issue isn't resolved, misleading the timing of the next maintenance. When I first learned how to do it, I was a bit nervous and had to check the manual a few times to feel at ease. I recommend beginners practice in an empty space first. Additionally, there are minor differences between different year models of the Qin. For example, earlier models might require using the dashboard buttons instead of the steering wheel controls, so it's better to confirm your car model before proceeding.
