CS15 maintenance light has two reset modes: one is through computer reset, and the other is manual reset. Here is the detailed method for manually resetting the CS15 maintenance light: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, press and hold the DISP button for 3 seconds, then release the button; 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, press and hold the DISP button for 3 seconds, and the maintenance light will be reset and turned off. Precautions for manual reset are as follows: Do not start the engine. Insert the key and turn it forward once to reach the OFF position, then turn it forward again to reach the ON position. The maintenance light is used to record the mileage of important components, serving as a reminder for car owners and automotive maintenance personnel.
I've been driving the Changan CS15 for several years, and manually resetting the maintenance light is super simple: First, completely turn off the engine, then turn the key to the ON position (without starting the engine). At this point, look at the dashboard, press and hold that small TRIP button without letting go for about 5 to 10 seconds. Wait until the maintenance light starts flashing or goes off completely before releasing the button. I've tried it several times, and it works smoothly. Remember to reset it promptly after each maintenance to prevent the dashboard from constantly displaying the annoying light. If the operation isn't done correctly and the light doesn't go off, don't force it—check the button position or wait a moment and try again. The maintenance light is just a reminder tool; regular maintenance is crucial to protect the engine and extend the car's lifespan. Before driving, it's best to confirm the car's condition is safe and avoid distractions while handling these tasks. In short, maintaining this habit can save you extra trips to the 4S shop and unnecessary expenses.
