SAIC Maxus G50 maintenance reset steps are as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, hold down the "Reset Button" with one hand, and turn off the ignition switch with the other hand; 2. Keep holding the "Reset Button" until the clock and mileage on the instrument panel completely disappear (the instrument panel should display nothing, black screen), then release the button; 3. Hold the "Reset Button" again with one hand, then turn on the ignition switch. At this time, the maintenance reminder on the instrument panel will flash, continue to hold the "Reset Button" without releasing. Wait until the maintenance reminder stops flashing, then release the button; 4. Turn on the ignition switch or start the vehicle again, the reset is successful.
Having driven for many years, I've developed a habit of doing things myself. Resetting the maintenance reminder for the SAIC Maxus G50 is quite straightforward, mainly involving operations through the dashboard buttons. First, park the car and turn off the engine, but do not start it. Instead, turn the ignition switch to the second position, and all the dashboard lights will illuminate. Then, press the TRIP button on the dashboard or use the navigation keys on the steering wheel to switch between menus until you find the 'Maintenance Reminder' or a similar option. Confirm the reset, and you're done. After resetting, the indicator light will turn off, and the system will recalculate the next maintenance interval. Doing this yourself saves time and avoids the hassle of queuing at the 4S shop, while also reminding you to change the oil and perform inspections on time. Maintenance reset is crucial; forgetting to do it might make the indicator light flash continuously, leading you to mistakenly think there's a problem while ignoring actual component wear. Last time, my friend's car didn't get reset, resulting in delayed maintenance and nearly causing engine trouble. I recommend resetting it right after each maintenance and developing a habit of regular checks for peace of mind while driving. Since details may vary by model year, it's best to keep the manual handy just in case.
