At this time, there is no need to start the engine. Turn the switch to the NO position, press the button on the dashboard, and adjust the mode to the instantaneous fuel consumption state. Then press the mode button on the dashboard, press the NO button on the dashboard, and turn the switch to the NO position. Next, press the mode button on the dashboard and the time adjustment button on the left, then press the maintenance light button, and the status will be reset to zero.
I've been driving this car for several years, and resetting the maintenance light is actually quite simple. First, turn the key to the ON position where all the electronics are powered, but don't start the engine. Then press and hold the small button on the right side of the dashboard, usually labeled TRIP or ODO. Keep it pressed for about 7 to 10 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance light blink a few times before turning off. At this point, release the button, turn off the power, and then start the car again to check—the maintenance reminder should be cleared. I do this every time after maintenance, and it only takes two minutes. Just be aware that the button location might vary depending on the car's configuration. If you can't find it, check the manual in the glove box—it definitely has illustrated instructions.
Last time when my cousin first drove this car, he also asked about this. I taught him step by step. The operation process is as follows: With the car turned off, press and hold the trip reset button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the ACC power-on position with your right hand. At this point, watch the dashboard and wait for the wrench icon to flash twice and then go off. The whole process takes about 8 seconds, and counting the seconds is quite accurate. I was nervous the first time I did it too, but later found out that even if you make a mistake, the car won’t get damaged. The key is not to start the engine; it must be done in the power-on state. If you try twice without success, it’s recommended to go directly to the 4S store and have them reset it with a computer—after all, the first maintenance service is free.
Here's how to reset the maintenance light on my Great Wall Wingle 5: Park the car in a safe place, press and hold the round button on the instrument panel, then turn the key to the ignition-on position without starting the engine. Keep an eye on the warning lights on the dashboard, and after counting to about six seconds, the maintenance indicator light will turn off by itself. Release the button and restart the engine, and the reminder will be gone. This method is quite simple, even someone like me who usually just knows how to drive can do it. Remember to clean your hands before operating to avoid dirtying the instrument panel. If you really can't find the button, take a photo of the dashboard and ask in the car owners' group—fellow drivers are always happy to help.
