Method to reset the maintenance light on a 2018 Geely Emgrand: 1. With the ignition switch in the off position, press and hold the "Reset" button; 2. Turn on the ignition switch, then release the "Reset" button; 3. Press the "Clock Adjustment" button once, and the maintenance cycle will display a resetting status. Wait a few seconds, and the display will return to the normal view; 4. After the maintenance light is cleared, press the "Clock Adjustment Button" four times in a row, and the multi-function display will show the mileage until the next maintenance. The Emgrand is a compact sedan under Geely, with body dimensions of 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height.
I remember resetting the maintenance light on my 2018 Emgrand was actually quite simple. Try this method: First, make sure the car is completely turned off with the key in the OFF position. Then, use your left hand to press and hold the small square 'TRIP' button on the instrument panel without releasing it. Slowly turn the key to the ON position (the position where the car is powered but not started) with your right hand. At this point, you'll see a small wrench icon flashing on the instrument panel—ignore it and continue holding the button for about 10 seconds until the odometer numbers suddenly reset, and the maintenance light will turn off. If it doesn't work the first time, try a couple more times. The key is to locate the correct button position—the 'TRIP' button is the middle one among the row of buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. My first attempt was a bit chaotic too, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find it much more convenient than going to the dealership, and you can save over a hundred bucks on labor costs.
Last month, I just helped my neighbor reset the maintenance light on his Emgrand. The steps are actually quite straightforward: First, turn off the car and remove the key. Then, locate the rectangular TRIP button below the dashboard with your finger. While holding this button down, turn the key to the accessory position (where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start). Keep pressing and watch the dashboard – you'll notice the maintenance reminder symbol flashes for about five to six seconds before disappearing. At this point, you can release the button, and you're done. The key is to press the button all the way down without your finger slipping. Once, I didn't press firmly enough because my nails were too long, and I ended up wasting a lot of time. Also, after resetting the maintenance light, remember to check the oil level. After all, this only resets the reminder – you still need to keep an eye on the car's condition yourself.
