How to manually reset the maintenance light on a 2013 Sagitar?

To reset the maintenance light, locate the two buttons at the bottom left corner of the instrument cluster. First, press the maintenance button (mileage reset button) while turning the ignition key to the 'on' position (lights on). After hearing a beep, release the maintenance button and hold for two seconds. Without moving the ignition switch, press and hold the minute button (MIN) next to the instrument panel. The reset is complete once the minute time stops advancing. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the hour reset button on the odometer for about 3 seconds until all prompt messages are completely cleared.
I've been driving my 2013 Sagitar for almost ten years, and I manually reset the maintenance light every time it comes on. The operation is quite simple: first, turn the key to the fully off position to ensure the engine is shut down. Then locate the '0.0' button at the top right of the dashboard and press it firmly without releasing. Slowly turn the key to the ON position, where all the dashboard lights are on but the engine isn't started. Keep holding the button for about ten seconds until the screen displays the prompt 'Reset maintenance data?' Release the button, and you might need to press '0.0' once more to confirm. In a second or two, it will show 'Reset completed,' and the maintenance light will go off. The key point is that this light serves as a reminder for regular maintenance, such as changing the oil and filter every 5,000 kilometers. You shouldn't just reset it without performing the actual maintenance, as it could lead to carbon buildup and engine wear. If the reset doesn't succeed, don't force it; check if the button is stuck or refer to the owner's manual, otherwise, you might damage the circuitry. Remember to maintain your car well so you can drive on the highway with peace of mind. My car still performs like new.
