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