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.

I'm quite familiar with resetting the maintenance light, a common question from Emgrand owners. The basic procedure involves three steps: turn off the engine and hold the TRIP button → turn the key to the ignition position → wait for the indicator light to go off. The key point is to press the button long enough, with 10 seconds being the minimum. If the wrench icon doesn't disappear, try turning off the power and starting over. It's best to do this during the day, as poor visibility at night can lead to mistakes. Always remember to engage the handbrake before starting—safety first. Once, I saw a fellow owner attempt this without the handbrake, and the car nearly rolled into a wall—truly terrifying.

Specific steps: With the engine off, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the second position (ignition on). At this point, observe the instrument panel closely—the maintenance reminder wrench icon will first flash and then disappear. The entire process takes about 8-12 seconds. Upon success, the odometer will briefly reset and restart. Remember not to press the brake pedal during this operation, as accidental engine start would complicate things. Last time my friend did this, his car started the engine and the dashboard displayed an error, requiring a 5-minute power disconnect to reset. This method also works for keyless start models: first press the start button to power off, then press it twice more (without braking) to enter ignition-on mode.

First, ensure the car is completely turned off and stationary. Press and hold the trip reset button with your right index finger, then turn the key to the position where the dashboard lights up with your left hand. Do not release the button during this process—you'll feel a slight vibration. After about seven or eight seconds, the maintenance wrench icon on the dashboard will suddenly disappear, and the odometer numbers will refresh, indicating success. The entire operation takes approximately 20 seconds. After completion, it's recommended to start the engine to verify if the reset was successful. Although the method is simple, beginners who just picked up their cars should have a passenger assist by watching the dashboard prompts. Recently, while helping a colleague with this, he accidentally pressed the adjacent tire pressure reset button, wasting half the effort. Also, note that after resetting, the 5,000-kilometer countdown to the next maintenance will restart.
