How to Eliminate Vehicle Maintenance Reminders?
2 Answers
There are two methods to eliminate vehicle maintenance reminders: cancellation via 4S shop computer system, or through vehicle settings. Different vehicles may have varying procedures for resetting maintenance reminders. Additional information regarding maintenance reminder elimination is as follows: 1. To ensure proper vehicle operation, manufacturers preset reminder indicators during production. Upon reaching specified mileage intervals, owners must promptly replace components. 2. The maintenance light serves to alert owners about required servicing. After maintenance completion, 4S shops use diagnostic tools to reset the maintenance indicator. 3. Manual reset procedure: 1) Access instrument cluster "Settings". 2) Select "Vehicle Settings". 3) Choose "Maintenance Mileage". 4) Select "Reset" to complete the process.
The maintenance reminder light on my car is on, which is quite annoying. Turning off this light is simple for most cars. Turn off the engine, don't start it, then hold down the button on the dashboard, such as the settings or menu button, for a few seconds. The screen prompt will disappear, and that's it. Different car models have different operations; for example, Toyota may require entering the diagnostic mode via the steering wheel buttons to reset. If you don't know the method, check the owner's manual or search for video tutorials online. I've tried it myself a few times, and being a bit handy can save you the trouble of going to the shop. Remember not to press other buttons randomly, as it might lead to misoperations affecting the system. The maintenance reminder is for oil changes and inspections, so after resetting, you still need to go for regular maintenance to ensure the car's safety.
