How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Diesel Fengjun 5?

The method to reset the maintenance light on a Diesel Fengjun 5: When the vehicle is not started, press and hold the mileage reset button, do not release it, then start the engine. Wait until the maintenance indicator light disappears before releasing the button. Alternatively, after completing the maintenance, you can ask the staff to use a computer to set it. The Fengjun 5 offers two cargo compartment sizes to choose from: small double and large double. The small double model's cargo compartment dimensions are 1380mm, 1460mm, and 480mm, while the large double model's cargo compartment dimensions are 1680mm, 1460mm, and 480mm. In terms of appearance, the body is relatively simple, with the door handles aligned in a straight line with the rear. The side skirts above the tires are raised, and the rear design is simple, featuring a vertical row of three taillights, with two additional independent taillights below.
As a veteran driver who has owned a Fengjun 5 for several years, let me share the steps to reset the maintenance light. First, park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and ensure the key is in the OFF position. Then locate the instrument panel below the steering wheel, which usually has a small button labeled TRIP or RESET. Press and hold this button without releasing it, then turn the key to the ON position (where all lights illuminate but don't start the engine). Keep holding the button for about 5 to 10 seconds until you see the maintenance light on the dashboard start flashing and then turn off. Finally, release the button and turn off the ignition to complete the process. The whole procedure takes less than half a minute and is quite simple.
Why reset it? This light serves as a reminder for upcoming maintenance tasks like oil or filter changes. If not reset, it might mislead you into delaying critical maintenance. I always reset it after minor servicing for peace of mind and to prevent major engine issues. Remember to regularly check your vehicle's condition - while trucks like the Fengjun 5 are durable, diesel engines require extra attention.
I've been driving my diesel-powered Great Wall Wingle 5 for a while now, and I've tried resetting the maintenance reminder light a few times - it's super easy! Here's the exact procedure: First, make sure the vehicle is stationary with the ignition off and all dashboard lights extinguished. Locate the reset button (that small black dot) on the left side of the instrument cluster and press it firmly with your finger. Then turn the key to the ACC position (don't start the engine) while maintaining pressure on the button. After holding for about five seconds, the maintenance light will blink several times and disappear - that's when you can release the button and turn off the ignition. Done! The whole process takes less than ten seconds. I've noticed that if you don't reset it, the light stays annoyingly illuminated and makes it easy to forget scheduled maintenance. The Wingle 5 typically has a 5,000 km service interval, and resetting helps you keep track. I recommend doing this immediately after an oil change - wiping the button with a cloth for better grip makes it easier. Always pay attention to dashboard indicators when driving, and don't neglect these small but important details just to save effort.
