As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I know the method to reset the maintenance light on a Cadillac XTS. The maintenance light comes on to remind you that it's time for service—don't ignore it. The reset process is simple: First, turn off the engine and return the key to the OFF position. Then, sit in the driver's seat, locate the INFO or OK button on the steering wheel, and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position (ignition) without pressing the brake to start the engine. At this point, a menu will pop up on the instrument cluster screen. Use the button to scroll down to the "Oil Life" or "Maintenance Info" option, select the reset or reset option, and hold the button to confirm for a few seconds—the light will then turn off. After resetting, promptly visit a service center to change the oil and filter, as aged engine oil can degrade performance and even cause malfunctions. I recommend performing routine maintenance every 5,000 kilometers to prevent major issues, and more frequent checks as the car ages. Remember, resetting is only a temporary solution to the reminder—without timely maintenance, the light will soon come back on, affecting driving safety.
