How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a 2021 Geely Emgrand?

[McElaina]

Use the buttons on the right side of the dashboard to manually reset. First, turn off the ignition switch while holding down both arrow buttons. Then, turn on the ignition switch, release both arrow buttons after about 3 seconds, and the maintenance menu will appear, asking if you want to reset. Hold down the SET (reset) button for more than 3 seconds, press the MODE (mode) button, and turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset. The quickest and most accurate way to clear the maintenance reminder light is to use a fault diagnostic tool. It is recommended that owners visit a 4S shop for maintenance to clear the reminder light or go to an external 4S shop for clearing.

I just reset the maintenance light on my 2021 Emgrand myself and wanted to share the experience: After turning off the engine, hold down the small button on the right side of the instrument panel without releasing it. Then, turn the key to power on the car but do not start the engine. At this point, the instrument panel will light up. Continue holding the button for about 10 seconds until you see the maintenance indicator light flash or disappear, and the reset is complete. The key is to press the button all the way down and not release it after powering on. The first time I tried, I was in a hurry to go to work and released the button after 5 seconds, which resulted in failure. Later, I patiently held it down and succeeded. This operation is best performed when the car is cold, as the button responds more sensitively. Remember to check the next maintenance mileage setting after resetting the maintenance light.

Resetting the Maintenance Light for the 2021 Emgrand in Four Simple Steps: After turning off the engine, avoid touching the steering wheel. Locate the small cylindrical button on the right side of the instrument panel and press it firmly with your fingertip. Then, turn the key to power the instrument panel to the ON position. Maintain pressure while watching the instrument panel—the maintenance light typically turns off within 5-20 seconds. Finally, release the button and start the vehicle to confirm the reset is complete. I tried this last month and noticed that button placement may vary slightly depending on the model; for the Luxury trim, the button is at the lower right corner of the instrument panel with a triangular symbol. If there's no response after the time limit, repeat the steps—sometimes it's just a system delay. It's recommended to perform this operation on the same day as the maintenance service, as delaying it may cause the vehicle's computer to become confused.

The maintenance light reset is essentially a simple reboot of the vehicle's onboard computer. After turning off the engine, hold down the instrument panel reset button, then power on the vehicle without starting the engine, and hold for about 15 seconds until the light goes off. The key point is to ensure the vehicle has been off for at least one minute before the operation, allowing the system to fully shut down. Last time I performed a reset, I found that attempting it immediately after turning off the engine often leads to failure. Here's a practical tip: note down the current mileage before resetting; after the reset, the system will automatically calculate the next maintenance interval based on the preset mileage. If the button is broken, don't worry—disconnecting the negative battery terminal for three minutes can force a reset.

As a female driver, here's a little tip to share: After turning off the engine, press and hold the small round button on the right side of the dashboard while having your husband or friend assist by turning the key to power on. Keep an eye on the wrench icon on the dashboard until it disappears before releasing the button, which usually takes 10-15 seconds. The first time I tried resetting it, I was too nervous and released it prematurely due to shaky hands, resulting in failure. On the second attempt, I took a deep breath and held it steady until it succeeded. Remember not to start the engine; just keep it in the power-on state. After resetting the maintenance light, it's advisable to take a video of the dashboard with your phone for record-keeping in case of any system abnormalities that you might need to show to the 4S shop. The button location may vary by model year. For my 2021 model, the button is on the right side of the speedometer with a raised dot.

The key to resetting the maintenance reminder light for the 2021 Emgrand involves a two-step process: physical press + system wake-up. After turning off the engine, continuously press the reset button on the instrument panel. Without releasing the button, turn on the power until the instrument panel fully lights up, and maintain pressure until the wrench icon disappears. I noticed that after powering on, the button vibrates slightly to indicate the operation is in progress—wait until the vibration stops to confirm successful reset. If you encounter system lag occasionally, try repeating the process twice. Last year, during one reset attempt, the low battery voltage caused the light to reappear after disappearing, which was resolved after connecting a charger. After routine maintenance, you can request the 4S shop to reset it on the spot, which is more convenient than self-learning.
