How to clear the 20-day vehicle condition check reminder?

Park the vehicle securely, engage the handbrake, and then turn off the engine. Turn on the hazard lights, then press and hold the button on the right side of the instrument panel without releasing it. Next, turn on the ignition using the key or push-button start (without starting the engine), after which you can access the relevant settings to clear the reminder. This indicates that the car has reached its maintenance cycle and requires timely servicing. You can reset the maintenance reminder after performing the car maintenance at a 4S dealership.

To eliminate the '20 days until vehicle condition check' reminder, my usual steps are straightforward: After starting the vehicle, navigate to the vehicle settings menu on the central control screen, locate the 'Service Reminder' or 'Maintenance Info' option, and click the reset confirmation button to clear the countdown. This feature is available in most vehicles and won't affect the actual condition of the car, but the reminder serves a purpose—prompting checks for engine oil, brakes, and tire wear. Scheduling an inspection at a 4S shop or service center in advance can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Last week, after clearing the reminder, I promptly had my car checked and discovered minor cracks in the front tires, which I replaced immediately for safety. Remember, this is just a reminder; don't overlook the underlying issues. Developing a habit of regular maintenance leads to a healthier vehicle and more peace of mind while driving.

For those who frequently handle vehicles, eliminating this countdown reminder is quite simple: start the car, navigate the dashboard menu to the vehicle information section, select reset service interval or maintenance reminder, and confirm. Methods vary by car model—some require using directional keys or having the key in the ACC position. The key point is not to just dismiss the alert without action; a real inspection is needed after 20 days, as it monitors critical components like battery life or the emission system. I recommend using this opportunity to schedule an inspection—either via a mobile app or by directly calling your local service center—for efficiency and peace of mind on the road.

I also felt puzzled when I saw the 20-day inspection reminder, but the operation isn't difficult: First check the manual instructions. In most cases, you can access the information screen via the steering wheel buttons, enter the maintenance options and click reset. If you're unfamiliar with it, ask the 4S store assistant—they can guide you remotely or help you set it up. This reminder is for your benefit. For example, checking the air filter can save fuel. Don't skip it, as prolonged delay may degrade car performance and affect safety.
