Regarding your question about resetting the warning light on the Roewe RX5, honestly from a mechanic's perspective, I suggest you don't rush to turn it off but first identify the cause. Common warning lights like the engine light or ABS light usually indicate issues with the electronic control system—it could be dirty sensors, poor wiring connections, or more serious faults. Here are the steps: First, buy an OBD scanner and plug it into the port under the steering wheel (you can get one online for just a few dozen yuan) to read the fault code and pinpoint the problem. If it's a minor issue, like the fuel cap not being tightened properly causing a vapor leak warning, you can simply clear the code. However, for major problems, take it to a 4S shop for repairs before clearing the code. Remember, don’t attempt to clear codes while driving—do it when parked for safety. The Roewe RX5's circuitry is relatively new, and tampering with it yourself could worsen the issue. I've seen many cases where the light comes back after being cleared, compromising driving safety. For prevention, regularly maintain and inspect filters and wiring connectors to avoid dust buildup and short circuits causing false alarms. The key is to address real issues promptly—don’t just clear the light for convenience.
