How to reset the maintenance light of JAC Shuailing T6?

You can use the universal special diagnostic tool TECH2 to reset it, or manually reset it using the buttons on the right side of the dashboard. Turn off the ignition switch, press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously, then turn on the ignition switch. After about 3 seconds, release both arrow buttons. The maintenance menu will ask if you want to reset. Press and hold the SET button for more than 3 seconds, press the MODE button, and then turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset. Below is an introduction to the maintenance light: 1. The function of the maintenance light is to record the mileage of important components, similar to a timer in a sprint race, serving as a reminder for car owners and maintenance personnel. 2. If the owner replaces related parts, the corresponding car maintenance light needs to be reset. 3. If the owner replaces related parts but does not reset the light, it will not affect the vehicle's performance, but it will cause trouble for the next replacement of car parts: the exact usage time of the new parts cannot be accurately known.
I've driven similar models before, and resetting the maintenance light is actually quite simple. You need to insert the car key first, turn it to the ON position, but don't start the engine. Then look for the TRIP or reset button on the dashboard, press and hold it for about 10 to 15 seconds until the maintenance light flashes or goes off, indicating a successful reset. Remember to operate from the driver's seat and ensure the car is parked safely. Many JAC models use this universal method, but the Shuailing T6 is particularly easy—I succeeded on my first try. The purpose of the maintenance light is to remind you to change the oil or oil filter. If you don't reset it in time, it will keep flashing and interfere with driving. Doing it yourself saves the cost and time of going to the dealership. The key is to hold the button firmly without letting go—small lights may come on in between, but be patient and wait for the completion prompt. After resetting, make sure all maintenance tasks are completed to avoid overdue issues affecting the car's performance. Regular maintenance can extend the engine's lifespan, and I learned this handy trick from experience—it's quite practical.
From an automotive maintenance perspective, resetting the maintenance reminder light should follow these steps: Turn the key to the ACC position (dashboard lights on but engine off); locate the TRIP or odometer reset button, hold it down for about 10 seconds while observing the indicator light changes - this usually completes the reset. Safety first: always park the vehicle and engage the handbrake before operation. I've encountered many vehicle models where this is easily done DIY, but the Shuailing T6 manual recommends consulting the owner's guide first. These maintenance lights are designed as preventive reminders - resetting without addressing underlying issues can damage your vehicle. If button operations prove ineffective, it may indicate electrical issues - avoid forced attempts and seek professional inspection to prevent damage. Developing a regular reset habit can save repair costs and hassles. This simple procedure helps maintain driving peace of mind.
