How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Changan Vehicle?

[JuneLee]

To reset the maintenance light on a Changan vehicle, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the 'on' position to power up the entire vehicle; 2. Press the selection button located on the left side of the steering wheel; 3. Hold down the reset button for 5 seconds, then turn off the vehicle's power; 4. Restart the vehicle's power to complete the reset. Taking the 2021 Changan CS75 Luxury model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1865mm, height 1700mm, with a wheelbase of 2710mm. The 2021 Changan CS75 Luxury model features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 178PS, maximum power of 131kW, and maximum torque of 265Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I found that the most common method to reset the maintenance light for Changan vehicles is through a combination of dashboard button operations. For example, park the car and turn off the engine, then press and hold the TRIP or ODO button on the dashboard without releasing it, while turning the key to the ON position—the ignition position without starting the engine. Wait for a few seconds until the maintenance indicator light starts flashing or turns off, then you can release the button. If it doesn’t work, different models may have different buttons; for instance, the Changan CS75 uses the TRIP button, while the Benben might use the SET button—it’s best to check the manual for confirmation. Additionally, insufficient battery power may affect the process, so ensure the car battery is in good condition before proceeding. The maintenance light serves as a reminder for an oil change or service; after resetting, the system will recalculate the mileage. I’ve tried this method several times, and it’s quite convenient, but avoid doing it while driving to ensure safety. If the light keeps flashing, it might genuinely be time for maintenance—perform the service first before resetting the light.

I own a Changan car, and it's quite simple to handle the maintenance light myself. After parking and turning off the engine, press and hold the button on the dashboard that displays the mileage. Slowly turn the key to the ignition position, wait for 5 to 10 seconds, and see if the light goes off. That's how I did it with my Changan CS55, and it worked on the first try. There are detailed tutorials online—just search for your car model name plus "maintenance light reset." Actually, doing it yourself saves time and money, but make sure you press the right button, as some cars require a combination of buttons. The maintenance light is your car's good friend, reminding you not to forget to change the oil or filter. Once reset, it’ll be quiet. If it doesn’t work the first time, try a few more times or check if there are other issues with the car. Generally, it’s not difficult.

To reset the maintenance light on a Changan vehicle, the steps are straightforward: First, turn off the engine. Then, press and hold a button such as TRIP without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the car. Wait until the light changes, then release the button. Specific models may have slight variations, and I can't recall all the details, but the instruction manual or online videos can provide guidance. Don't worry about making mistakes; trying won't harm the car, and you can always seek help if needed. Driving with the maintenance light on is not harmful, just a bit annoying, so it's best to reset it as soon as possible to avoid distractions.
