How to Clear the Maintenance Reminder on the Car Dashboard?
2 Answers
The method to clear the maintenance reminder on the car dashboard is as follows: Turn on the power, press and hold the mileage reset button on the dashboard until the "flashing reminder" disappears, then start the engine and repeat the operation once more to clear it. Detailed steps are as follows: 1. Insert the key to the first position. 2. Press and hold the wrench symbol button located at the bottom right of the speedometer. 3. Turn the key to the second position, where all indicator lights on the dashboard illuminate. The central information screen will then display "Service Due." 4. Place your left and right hands on the two buttons at the bottom left of the tachometer and the two buttons at the bottom right of the speedometer, then press all four buttons simultaneously. 5. The "Service Due" message on the information screen will disappear, indicating successful clearance. Here is an introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the process of using specialized care materials and products tailored to the different materials of various vehicle components to provide comprehensive care. Modern car maintenance includes the engine, transmission, chassis, cooling system, fuel system, and more.
I've been driving for ten years, and the dashboard maintenance reminder light coming on is quite common. The method to reset it varies by car model, but the basic steps are to turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine, then hold down the menu button near the steering wheel or the dashboard reset button for a few seconds. Usually, this will take you to the settings menu to select the option to reset the service indicator. Always ensure the maintenance has been completed before performing this operation; otherwise, turning off the reminder without servicing can harm the car. For Japanese cars, you might need to press a combination of the Trip button; German cars often require adjustments via the steering column stalk. I've found that if you don't reset this light promptly, over time the engine oil may degrade, leading to engine problems, so I make it a habit to do it after every oil change. I recommend car owners check the manual first; if the information isn't there, record a video of the operation process and upload it to online forums for help—many people share solutions for specific models.
