Method to reset the maintenance light on a 2011 Excelle: 1. Press and hold the reset button A while stepping on the brake; 2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (do not start the engine), the characters "INSP" will flash or the display will blink; 3. Continue holding down the reset button A until "." appears on the display; 4. Release the reset button A and let go of the brake; 5. Turn the ignition switch back to "OFF" to complete the reset process. The Excelle is a car under the Buick brand, equipped with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, ice-blue sport instrument panel, fully automatic air conditioning system, one-touch start function, rear air conditioning vents, and a flexible 400L luggage compartment.
A few days ago, I just helped my cousin reset the maintenance light on his 2011 Buick Excelle. The operation was actually quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat and turn off the engine, then press and hold the TRIP button on the right side of the instrument panel without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ignition-on position (where all the dashboard lights are on but the engine isn't running). At this point, you'll see the maintenance indicator light start flashing. Count about five seconds and then release the button, followed by quickly pressing the TRIP button once more to complete the process. It took me two tries to succeed—the first time I released the button too early. Remember to wipe your hands clean before operating to avoid leaving oily marks on the steering wheel. This manual reset method for older models like this is actually more straightforward than the menu adjustments in newer cars, though it does require a bit more hand strength to press the buttons.
