Here are the specific steps to manually reset the maintenance light on a 2020 Bora: 1. Insert the key, but do not turn it. 2. Press and hold the operation lever next to the odometer for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to the "ON" position. 3. After another 5-10 seconds, start the engine. Keep holding the operation lever throughout this process. 4. If the wrench indicator does not disappear, repeat the same procedure a few more times. 5. Note that maintenance intervals vary by manufacturer and model. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact timing of the maintenance light activation. After servicing, technicians will reset the maintenance light to zero through the setup program.

Last time I tried resetting the maintenance light myself, it took several attempts to figure it out. For the 2020 Bora, you need to first turn off the engine, then press and hold the 0.0 button at the bottom right of the instrument panel without releasing it. Next, turn the key to power on but do not start the engine. Wait until the maintenance reminder appears on the instrument panel before releasing the 0.0 button, and then quickly press the menu toggle button on the left side of the instrument panel to complete the process. Make sure the battery has enough charge during the entire process, otherwise it's easy to fail. After a successful reset, it's best to start the engine to check if the wrench symbol disappears. If you really can't get it right, it might be because the last maintenance data wasn't completely cleared. In that case, it's easier to just go to the shop and have them use a diagnostic tool to do it, and you can also check the tire pressure or brake pads while you're there.

There are two methods to reset the maintenance light for my same-model Bora: base-trim cars use the physical buttons on the instrument panel, while higher-trim models with a multifunction steering wheel have a simpler procedure. The basic method involves turning off the ignition, holding the 0.0 button, powering on until the maintenance reminder appears, then releasing and confirming with the menu button. If you find it troublesome, you can now download a car assistant app on your phone to check detailed operation videos. After resetting, drive 3-5 kilometers to confirm—if the light remains on, consider a potential sensor issue. Actually, the maintenance light is just a timer; if you maintain the car on schedule, resetting it yourself is perfectly fine. Remember to check the cabin air filter during seasonal changes—this car's filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side.

Just helped a friend with this last week. First, confirm the maintenance is indeed completed before resetting, otherwise you're only fooling yourself. The operation sequence must be strictly followed: with the engine off, hold the 0.0 button → turn the key to the ON position → wait for the wrench icon to appear on the dashboard → release the button → immediately press the menu confirmation button. The entire process should be completed within ten seconds. The method to turn off the light using the multifunction steering wheel buttons is similar; just hold the OK button and operate. The most common reasons for unsuccessful reset are exceeding the power-on time limit or not pressing the button firmly enough. Also, be sure to dry your hands when operating in rainy weather, as wet buttons can cause poor contact. After maintenance, stick the maintenance record in the manual so you can remember the next maintenance cycle more accurately.
