How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder on Lavida?
3 Answers
To remove the maintenance reminder on Lavida, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the engine and shut down the car; 2. Press and hold the reset button on the dashboard while turning on the ignition switch; 3. The dashboard will display a message asking to confirm resetting the maintenance service data or the vehicle condition inspection service data; 4. Press the reset button to complete the process. Taking the 2021 Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The 2021 Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I was driving my Lavida and the maintenance reminder light kept coming on, which was really annoying. I had to get rid of it. The first step is to park the car in a safe spot and turn off the engine. Then, find the small button on the dashboard—the little round knob for resetting the trip mileage—and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine, wait a few seconds, and the reminder light might flash and then turn off. Once you confirm it’s off, release the button, turn off the ignition, and restart the car—done! If it doesn’t work, the button location might vary by model, so check the owner’s manual. The first time I did this, I was a bit nervous, but after getting the hang of it, it only takes a minute. The maintenance reminder is for oil changes or inspections—if you don’t clear it promptly, it keeps beeping and distracts you while driving. It’s best to check and maintain your car every six months. Don’t rush to do this while driving—safety first. If you can’t manage it, just go to the 4S shop for a free fix to avoid bigger repair issues later.
Having driven a Lavida for over a decade, I've reset the maintenance reminder light multiple times. The basic steps are quite simple: Turn off and park the car, locate the reset button on the left side of the instrument panel and hold it down. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine, and the light should disappear in about 5 seconds. Release the button and turn off the ignition to complete the operation. The button position may vary across different Lavida model years - for older versions it's near the center console, while newer models can use the steering wheel adjustment buttons. Remember not to attempt this while driving as it may cause errors. Timely reset is crucial, as neglecting maintenance could lead to costly engine wear. I make it a habit to check the engine oil every 5,000 km and reset the reminder simultaneously for convenience and cost-saving. If the reset fails, it might indicate a blown fuse or system malfunction requiring professional circuit inspection at a repair shop.
