2 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance light on a Changan Suzuki SX4 is as follows: 1. Insert the car key and start the vehicle; 2. Rotate the left knob on the center console until the maintenance reminder light starts flashing; 3. Press the left knob and stop rotating when you hear a beep, at which point the maintenance reminder light on the dashboard will reset. The Changan Suzuki SX4 is a compact sedan equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109 PS and a maximum torque of 144 Nm. The car's dimensions are 4135mm in length, 1755mm in width, and 1605mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2500mm, and it comes with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Changan Suzuki SX4 for many years and have plenty of experience resetting the maintenance light. The steps are actually quite simple: First, sit in the car, but don't start the engine—just turn the key to the ON position (equivalent to powering up) and wait a few seconds for the system to self-check. Then locate the button on the dashboard, such as the one labeled 'Trip' or 'MODE,' press and hold it for about 10 seconds until you see the maintenance light blink or turn off. After that, start the engine to confirm the light stays off. I do this often myself to avoid unnecessary reminders. The maintenance light tracks mileage, and if left unchecked, you might miss service intervals—skipping oil changes can harm engine longevity. I recommend resetting it regularly to keep your car running smoothly. If you're unsure, always refer to the vehicle manual, as procedures may vary slightly by model year. Once you do it once, it'll become second nature.
