How to Manually Reset the Maintenance Light on Arrizo 5?

Arrizo 5 maintenance light can be manually reset using the black menu/confirm button on the left side of the steering wheel. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: 1.

I just dealt with the maintenance light issue on my Arrizo 5 last time. After turning off the engine, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard (the small button used to switch mileage display). Keep holding it without releasing, then turn the key to power on but don't start the engine. At this point, you'll see the maintenance light flashing on the dashboard. After about five seconds, the light will turn off by itself, and only then can you release your finger. I specifically tried it three times and succeeded each time. The key point is to start pressing the button before powering on - if the sequence is wrong, you'll have to start over. It's indeed annoying if the reminder stays on after maintenance, but this manual operation requires no tools and takes just two minutes. I recommend opening the window for ventilation before operating, as there might be an electric buzzing sound from the dashboard during power cycling - don't be startled by it.

I remember the dealership didn’t reset the maintenance light after the first service, so I figured out how to do it myself. The process mainly involves three steps: First, press and hold the TRIP button on the left side of the dashboard while the engine is off. Then, power on the dashboard without starting the engine, and keep holding the button for 5 to 10 seconds until the wrench symbol disappears. In my case, the light went off after about 8 seconds, and releasing the button completed the process. Be careful not to press the brake pedal during the operation, as it will start the engine and undo your efforts. The button position may vary slightly depending on the model year of the Arrizo 5, but it’s usually the toggle button with a square and arrow symbol. For safety, it’s recommended to perform this on level ground with the handbrake engaged.

The actual operation is much simpler than reading the manual. First, ensure the vehicle is completely turned off, then press and hold the TRIP button with your finger. Next, turn the key or press the start button to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard, keeping the pressure on your finger steady. Hold for about five seconds until you clearly see the maintenance reminder symbol start flashing and disappear. Release the button only after confirming success. The entire process must be done without pressing the brake pedal, otherwise, the ignition will fail directly. From my experience, in winter, you might need to hold it for an extra two seconds as the system reacts slower in cold weather. If it fails the first time, it’s likely due to incorrect step sequence—just repeat the process.

The method I use to reset the maintenance light is to press and hold the round menu button on the left side of the steering wheel with my finger. While the vehicle is powered off, keep holding the button, and with the other hand, turn the key to power on the vehicle but do not start the engine. Continue holding for about six or seven seconds, and the yellow wrench symbol on the dashboard will flash three times before automatically turning off. The entire operation can be completed from the driver's seat without needing to go to the engine bay. Note that the radio will suddenly turn on after powering up, so remember to lower the volume in advance. This method is suitable for most Arrizo 5 models, with the key being to coordinate the timing of pressing the button and powering on. After completion, it's best to restart the system to check if the light has truly disappeared.

When resetting the maintenance reminder light, first fasten your seatbelt to secure yourself. Locate the toggle button with an arrow symbol on the left side of the dashboard while the power is off, and press it continuously with your thumb. Simultaneously, use your left hand to turn the key to the ignition-on position, allowing all indicator lights to illuminate clearly. Maintain pressure for over five seconds until the maintenance reminder light extinguishes—ignore other warning lights during this process. I recommend using a phone timer to avoid releasing the button prematurely. If successful, the maintenance reminder won't reappear upon next vehicle startup. For rainy-day operations, dry your fingers to prevent slipping.
