Steps to reset the maintenance light on a Diesel Great Wall Wingle 5 are as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine. 2. Press the button on the instrument panel to switch the display to instant fuel consumption mode. 3. Turn off the ignition, then while holding the mode button, turn the ignition back on and release the button. 4. Simultaneously press the mode button and the left time adjustment button to reset the maintenance light. Reasons for the engine warning light to illuminate include: 1. Engine oil level being too low or poor quality engine oil and oil filter. 2. Insufficient engine oil inside the engine causing wear to internal components.
I've dealt with the maintenance light issue on the Great Wall Wingle 5 diesel version several times. The simple reset method is as follows: First, turn off the engine and all equipment to ensure the vehicle is in a completely quiet state. Sit in the driver's seat and locate the mileage reset button on the dashboard, which is usually round, and hold it down without releasing. Then, turn the car key to the ON position—do not start the engine, just power the dashboard—and continue holding the button for about 5 to 10 seconds. You'll see the maintenance light flash and then turn off. At this point, release the button and turn off the key, then start the car to check if the light has gone off. Don't underestimate this action; the light is a reminder for regular engine and fuel system maintenance. Diesel vehicles are prone to carbon buildup, and if not addressed promptly, it can affect performance and fuel consumption. It's best to reset the light after each maintenance to keep records accurate.
As an ordinary car owner, I've also encountered this issue. Resetting the maintenance light on the Fengjun 5 diesel model isn't difficult, but it requires careful operation: After turning off the engine, press and hold the reset button on the dashboard, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, wait for 5 to 8 seconds until the light goes off, then release the button and turn off the key. Start the car to confirm the light is off. The first attempt might be nerve-wracking, so it's advisable to refer to the manual or seek guidance to ensure accuracy. Additionally, the purpose of the maintenance light is to remind you to change the oil and inspect components—don't skip it. Regular maintenance every 5,000 kilometers on average can extend the engine's lifespan, saving you money and hassle. Safe driving involves paying attention to these details, so don't overlook them.
