17 Great Wall H6 maintenance light reset method mainly includes: 1. Insert the key and keep the engine off; 2. Press the reset button once, and it will display the system that needs to be reset, with each press switching to the next system; 3. Select the system that needs to be reset and hold the reset button for about 3 seconds; 4. The multifunction display on the dashboard shows the relevant icon, indicating the maintenance light has been successfully reset. Additional information: 1. Interior. There are quite a few differences in the interior design between different versions of the Haval H6. For example, the standard version features the latest Haval family design with a wraparound dashboard and streamlined styling to create a comfortable atmosphere, while the sport version has a simpler interior design. Differences can also be seen in some details, such as the standard version being equipped with a four-spoke steering wheel and a full LCD instrument panel, while the sport version has a three-spoke steering wheel and a mechanical instrument panel. 2. Powertrain. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum power of 124kW/5000-6000rpm and a peak torque of 285N·m/1400-3000rpm.

Last year, I drove the same Great Wall H6 model. When the maintenance light came on, I managed to reset it myself—it was pretty straightforward. The first step is to operate with the car turned off, without pressing the brake or starting the ignition—just sit in the driver's seat. Locate the small button on the dashboard, usually the trip reset button or the small black dot on the left side of the steering wheel, and hold it down. Then turn the key to the ON position, which powers the electronics without starting the engine. After a few seconds, you'll hear a beep or see the maintenance light blink a few times before turning off—it takes about 5 seconds. I tried it twice; the first time it didn’t work because I didn’t wait long enough, but with a bit more patience, it worked. If the light still doesn’t turn off, it might be a fuse issue or a system malfunction—don’t force it, and take it to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop promptly. The maintenance light reminds you to change the oil and such; after resetting, remember to follow the manual for regular maintenance to avoid car troubles and keep it running smoothly. Doing it yourself saves money, and learning these little tricks feels great—especially with high fuel prices these days! In short, don’t be afraid of the hassle—just give it a try.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I've reset the maintenance light on my Great Wall H6 multiple times. Here's my method: First, ensure the vehicle is completely turned off and remain seated calmly. Use your left hand to press and hold the mileage reset button near the steering wheel or the small button on the left side of the instrument panel. With your right hand, turn the key to the second position (where the instrument panel lights up but the engine isn't started). Keep holding the button for about 10 seconds until the light automatically turns off. If there's no response, check if the button is stuck or if there's a wiring connection issue. I recommend taking this opportunity to inspect the tires and brakes, as the maintenance light typically indicates it's time for an oil change. Resetting it helps track the next service interval—don't overlook this. Learning basic car maintenance can save you a lot of money. If manual reset doesn't work, visit a reliable auto repair shop instead of risking it on the highway. Treat your car like a friend—proper maintenance ensures longevity, reliability, and safety.

I'm quite interested in cars and often tinker with minor repairs. Resetting the maintenance light on a Great Wall H6 isn't difficult. The key is to perform the operation with the engine off: sit in the driver's seat, locate the reset button on the dashboard—usually the Trip button or a similar small button, and hold it down. Then turn the key to the ACC power position (power on without starting the engine), hold for a few seconds until the light goes out. I've tried this on most 2017 models and it usually works. The principle behind it is resetting the maintenance counter in the system, essentially telling the car 'I've done the maintenance.' If the light stubbornly stays on, it might be due to unstable battery voltage or an abnormal control module. In that case, don't waste your effort and head straight to a professional shop for a check. Developing a habit of regular maintenance is crucial to avoid excessive engine wear. DIY resetting is both fun and practical, and I recommend giving it a try.

I believe the maintenance light reset should never be taken lightly, especially for Great Wall H6 models, as it directly relates to driving safety. When driving, I always pay attention to: first turning off and stabilizing the vehicle when the maintenance light comes on. Then, press and hold the odometer button under the steering wheel for about 5 seconds, turn the key to the ignition position, and wait for the light to flash and go out. If there's no response, check the battery status or fuses. Remember, resetting is just part of the regular reminder; don't just reset without changing the oil, or else the vehicle's wear will be severe. If the light suddenly comes on again while driving, pull over to handle it. Routine maintenance includes checking filters and fluid levels, making driving more reassuring and fuel-efficient. As a car owner, mastering this small trick is convenient, saves money, and enhances driving responsibility.
