How to reset the maintenance light on a 2021 CR-V?

First, open the left front passenger door and enter the vehicle. After entering, press and hold the "TRIP" button without releasing it. Wait for the dashboard to turn off. With the other hand, start the vehicle, then you can release the "TRIP" button. Wait a moment, and the icon will disappear. Press and hold the "ENTER" switch for 3 to 5 seconds. After hearing a beep from the dashboard, confirm completion, and the maintenance light will reset and turn off. This indicates that the maintenance reset was successful. If it hasn't disappeared, try the above method again.
Last time I helped my colleague reset the maintenance light on his 2021 CR-V, and it's actually something you can do yourself: Sit in the driver's seat without pressing the brake, press the start button twice in quick succession to power up the dashboard (the wrench icon will illuminate). Use the steering wheel's right-side scroll wheel to navigate to the maintenance info screen, then press and hold the center confirmation button for 5 seconds until the reminder mileage starts blinking. Adjust the mileage to 5000 or your desired interval using the scroll wheel. Here's the crucial part! Hold the confirmation button for 10 seconds until the wrench icon disappears. Remember - don't start the engine during this process, or you'll have to restart. Honda's system is quite user-friendly - after resetting, it'll trigger a yellow warning light 1000km before your next scheduled maintenance.
