To reset the maintenance light on a Changan vehicle, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the ignition and locate the settings menu on the multimedia central control screen, then click to enter. 2. After entering the settings menu, find the vehicle menu. Within the vehicle menu, select maintenance. 3. In the maintenance menu, you can choose to turn the maintenance reminder function on or off. The maintenance interval in kilometers and time can be adjusted by touching the screen separately and making changes in the pop-up menu. 4. After making adjustments, click the reset button at the bottom to complete the maintenance light reset.
I've been driving my Changan car for several years and often reset the maintenance light myself. First, turn off the engine and remove the key until the dashboard goes completely dark. Then, press and hold the button next to the trip computer, usually the Trip or ODO button, without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ignition-on position, where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start. Wait a few seconds until the maintenance light starts blinking, then release the button. Wait a few more seconds patiently, and the light will turn off completely. After resetting, the record is cleared, ensuring accurate reminders for the next maintenance interval. If you forget to do this, the light keeps flashing annoyingly, so it's best to reset it immediately after each maintenance. It's a simple process that saves you a trip to the shop and helps you understand your car better. The key is not to rush; if it doesn't work the first time, just turn off the key and repeat the process a few times.
Last year, I bought a new Changan car and managed to solve the maintenance light issue by checking the manual myself. The method was quite simple: After turning off the car, hold down the small button below the steering wheel without releasing it, turn the key to power on but do not start the engine, watch the dashboard for the indicator light to flash, and release the button as soon as it flashes—the light will go off. The whole process took less than half a minute, and doing it myself was super convenient. Remember not to get distracted during the operation, keep your hands steady, and retry if you fail. Successfully resetting it saved me the inspection fee at the dealership. Learning small tricks like this makes driving smoother. I recommend writing the steps on a sticky note in the car for quick reference, so you don’t forget the steps when in a hurry.
