How to cancel the maintenance reminder on a Great Wall C30?

[LaCarlos]

Turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Press the reset button once to display the next system that needs to be reset. Here is some relevant information: 1. Powertrain: This compact sedan equipped with a 1.5L VVT engine was positioned as Great Wall's important strategic model. The 1.5L VVT engine is paired with either MT or CVT transmission options. The all-aluminum VVT engine features lighter weight and enhanced stability, achieving variable valve timing to increase air intake, effectively improving power output while reducing fuel consumption. 2. Exterior design: The C30's appearance is rather conventional without particularly memorable features. Or perhaps not as striking as Haval models. From the side profile, the C30 bears some resemblance to the new Vios.

I used to find this warning message super annoying too, but later figured out a simple solution. First, completely turn off the engine and exit the vehicle, waiting a few minutes for the system to fully power down. Then, without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button to power on (note: not starting the engine). At this point, the dashboard will light up but the engine won't turn over. Quickly press and hold the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel for about five seconds until you see the maintenance icon flash twice and disappear. The whole process takes about ten seconds - don't fall for those roadside shops trying to charge you to clear the code. This procedure won't affect your vehicle's computer data, so feel free to do it confidently. Remember to reset the maintenance cycle promptly after your next service, otherwise it'll pop up again after driving another 5,000 km. DIY saves both hassle and money - this trick saved me 200 yuan compared to going to the dealership, enough for several milk teas!

Actually, manually clearing the maintenance reminder is quite simple; the key is to locate the reset button on the dashboard. There's a small square button at the lower left of the steering wheel, the same one used to toggle through mileage information. First, turn off the ignition and wait for a minute to ensure the system goes into sleep mode. Then, press the start button to power up the dashboard without starting the engine—this is when the wrench symbol appears. Next, use your left hand to press and hold the TRIP button continuously for about seven to eight seconds until the icon disappears. I've noticed many people make the mistake of pressing too briefly or rushing to start the engine. After completing the process, it's advisable to wait a moment before driving off, allowing the computer to finish updating the data. This method works the same for both new and old cars; the procedure is completely universal for models like the 12 C30 and the 16, which is quite user-friendly in design.

To cancel the maintenance reminder, follow these three steps: Disconnect the power for one minute, then reconnect without starting the engine. Hold down the TRIP button until the wrench symbol disappears. If unsuccessful, it may be because the 4S shop did not reset the counter during the last maintenance. In that case, you'll need to enter the engineering mode. Simultaneously press the two knobs on the dashboard for ten seconds to enter settings, then select the maintenance item to reset. If you still can't manage it, refer to the vehicle manual.

Experienced owners know the timing is crucial. After power-off, the system has a memory retention period; waiting a full 60 seconds for complete reset before powering on is the safest approach. The TRIP button needs to be held long enough - many release after just 3 seconds, which naturally yields no response. In the workshop, I often see owners mistakenly pressing the brake pedal while operating, when it's actually unnecessary. If the wrench icon keeps flashing after holding for 10 seconds, try restarting the procedure immediately after ignition. Don't worry about damaging the circuits - this is specifically designed as a user-friendly reset method. For older vehicles, check for aged buttons as poor contact may cause operation failure.
