Press the start button without depressing the brake pedal to power on the vehicle. Use the steering wheel control buttons to access the "Oil Life" reset page. Select the corresponding item using the steering wheel selection buttons, then the dashboard will display "Reset" prompt. Finally press the "OK" (confirm) button.
I've been driving an Alto for several years and would like to share my experience with manually resetting the maintenance light: First, turn the car key to the ON position without starting the engine, so the dashboard lights up. Then, locate the ODO button or mileage reset button on the dashboard, press and hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds. Once you see the maintenance light flash or go off, release the button. The whole process is quite simple, but be careful not to press the wrong button or hold it for too short a time, otherwise it might fail. If the light doesn't go off, check if there are any other fault codes in the vehicle or if the battery voltage is too low, which could affect the system. It's best to do this in a garage or on level ground to avoid distractions. After resetting, don't forget to get your car serviced promptly—the light is just a reminder, not a cure-all. Regular maintenance is key to extending your car's lifespan.
The basic steps to manually reset the Suzuki Alto maintenance light are quite straightforward: Turn the ignition to the ON position to activate the dashboard; then press and hold the reset button, which I usually find near the steering wheel or instrument panel, for about 10 seconds until the light turns off. The button location may vary by model, but the Alto typically has it in a visible spot. Be careful not to press the brake pedal or touch other switches during the process to avoid interference. If the light stays on, the system might need a reset or a fuse could be blown—it's a good idea to quickly check the fuse box. DIY saves money, but beginners should refer to the manual or online tutorials for guidance. Regular maintenance prevents bigger issues and keeps your car safe.
