I've driven a Haval H7 for several years. The maintenance light comes on to remind you it's time for service, and resetting it is quite simple. First, turn the car off completely and switch the key to the OFF position. Then locate the 'TRIP' button on the left side of the steering wheel's instrument panel and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, just wait for the dashboard to light up. Keep holding the button for a few seconds until you see the maintenance indicator blink a few times and then turn off, then release the button. The whole process takes about a minute, and I've tried it at home several times—it's perfectly safe. If the light doesn't go off, you might need to repeat the steps or check the vehicle manual. After resetting, make sure to visit a service shop soon for an oil and filter change. Regular maintenance keeps your car running longer.
The maintenance light is a built-in timer counter in the vehicle, and resetting it can clear the reminder. First, turn off the engine and ensure the key is in the OFF position. Press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the ACC position without pressing the brake. After about 5-10 seconds, the light will flash and disappear, at which point you can release the button. The principle is that the button input signal resets the counter in the computer. I've used this method on multiple car models, and the design is similar in the Haval H7. Be careful not to perform this operation while driving to avoid short-circuit risks. After clearing, note down the next maintenance mileage and time to prevent overdue service, which could affect engine lifespan.
