Resetting the maintenance light on that 2018 Roewe RX8 is actually quite simple—I just helped a friend with it. First, make sure the key is in the OFF position, and absolutely do not start the engine. Then, locate the instrument panel next to the steering wheel and press and hold the mileage reset button, that small Trip button. This step is crucial. Next, slowly turn the key to the ON position—be careful not to start the engine, just leave it there—while continuing to hold the button. Wait about 5 to 10 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance light start flashing before it finally turns off or resets to zero. Release the button, turn off the key, and then start the car to confirm the light is off. Take your time with each step. Actually, this light is a reminder to change the oil or inspect parts. After resetting, it's best to stick to maintenance every 5,000 km or so—engines in SUVs of this age are prone to carbon buildup, and regular attention can extend their lifespan. By the way, if any additional warning lights come on, take it to a 4S shop to check the sensors to prevent small issues from becoming big ones. As someone who drives often, I believe regular maintenance saves on repair costs and ensures safety. Remember, the car manual has detailed instructions—if you're unsure, check it or ask a professional mechanic. Don’t force it to avoid mistakes.
