Information about the maintenance light is as follows: 1. Recording: Records the mileage of some important components. 2. Reminder: Serves to remind the car owner and maintenance personnel. Information about the diesel version of Maxus V80 is as follows: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with the new SAIC π 2.0T displacement diesel turbocharged engine, with a maximum of 139 horsepower and a maximum torque of 330Nm, reaching maximum torque at 1400rpm. 2.

I've been driving for many years, especially diesel models like the Maxus V80, and I always reset the maintenance light myself. The method is actually straightforward: first, park the car safely, turn off the engine, and make sure the key is in the OFF position. Then, locate the TRIP button or mileage switch on the dashboard and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position (where all dashboard lights are on but the engine isn't started). Wait for 10 to 15 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance indicator light start flashing or turn off completely—then release the button. Make sure to perform this in a safe place, not while driving, to avoid distractions. I recommend testing afterward by restarting the car to check if the light stays off. Also, resetting the maintenance light doesn’t mean skipping maintenance—it just resets the reminder. You should still visit the shop when it’s time to change the oil or filters to extend your car's lifespan. The steps are simple, and once you're familiar, it’ll only take a minute. Practice makes perfect.
To reset the maintenance light, the key is understanding how the system operates. Turn off the ignition switch, set the key to OFF, and allow the system to cool down first. Press and hold the small button on the dashboard, usually the one that displays the mileage. Then turn the key to the ON position, with all dashboard lights illuminated, and maintain the button press for 10 seconds until the indicator light changes before releasing. If it fails, it might be due to the button not being pressed firmly enough or insufficient time—just repeat the process. The system response is consistent for the V80 diesel version; ensure the battery is sufficiently charged to avoid voltage instability interrupting the process. Resetting it can save a trip to the repair shop, but remember that regular maintenance is the core. Before operation, check that the car is parked on level ground with the handbrake engaged—safety first. Document the entire process in writing for easier reference next time.
As a new car owner, I just learned how to reset the maintenance light. The steps are quite straightforward: Park the car and turn off the ignition. Locate the TRIP button on the dashboard and hold it down. Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, wait about 10 seconds until the light goes off, then release. I was a bit hesitant the first time, but following the instructions made it easy. Doing it while parked is the safest; never attempt it while driving. Once done, the light stops flashing, which is a big relief. If you encounter any issues, check online forums or ask experienced drivers. Remember, timely maintenance is key.
