To reset the maintenance reminder for Mazda 3, follow these steps: 1. Press the one-touch start button. 2. Press the INFO button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel. 3. Press the SET button on the right side of the steering wheel. 4. The central LCD screen will display the vehicle maintenance information. 5. Press the OFF button at the lower right of the steering wheel, and the wrench symbol will disappear, indicating the maintenance has been reset. Additional Information: The Mazda 3 is a vehicle series under Changan Mazda, which has made significant improvements to core technologies such as the chassis, body, and powertrain, greatly enhancing the product's performance and luxury level, resulting in a substantial upgrade in product grade.

I just helped my neighbor reset the maintenance reminder on his old Mazda 3. First, sit in the car without pressing the brake pedal and turn the key to the OFF position. Then use your index finger to press and hold the small TRIP RESET button on the instrument cluster - only then turn the key to the ON position (do NOT start the engine, just power up the dashboard). You'll see a yellow wrench icon start flashing - keep holding the button for about 5-10 seconds until it completely disappears before releasing. Finally, turn off the ignition and restart to verify the light is gone. Note: Button locations may vary by model year - pre-2014 models often require longer holding time. Friendly reminder: Resetting the light doesn't mean skipping actual maintenance - always change the oil on schedule to avoid costly engine damage.

After ten years in auto repair, I often encounter Mazda owners asking about this. Simply put, the core process involves four steps: With the vehicle completely turned off, press and hold the TRIP reset button on the instrument panel without releasing it, then power on the vehicle without starting the engine, and watch until the maintenance light flashes and goes out. This essentially resets the maintenance counter in the vehicle's onboard computer. It's advisable to ensure your hands are dry before performing this operation to prevent static electricity from interfering with the vehicle's modules. If the light remains on after two attempts, it might indicate a control module malfunction or an abnormal mileage sensor, in which case it's best to use a professional diagnostic tool to read the fault codes. Additionally, maintenance reminders typically trigger every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. After clearing the reminder, remember to note down the next maintenance mileage on a sticky note for your records.

Last month I just cleared the maintenance light on my 2019 Mazda 3, it's incredibly simple with just three steps: park and turn off the engine, hold the TRIP button on the dashboard, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, and wait for the warning light to go off before releasing. The button is more conveniently located at the lower right of the steering wheel in newer models. If the wrench symbol appears while driving, don't panic, just find a safe place to park and perform the operation. The reminder is automatically calculated by the vehicle's computer based on mileage, and clearing it is just like resetting a reminder. But don't mistakenly think that clearing it means you don't need maintenance, changing the oil on time is the key.
