How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Geely Emgrand?
4 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance light on a Geely Emgrand is: 1. Press and hold the small trip reset button, insert the car key and turn it to the position where the instrument lights come on, then release the button. At this point, the maintenance light will turn off. Turn off the ignition switch. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both arrow buttons, then turn on the ignition switch. After about 3 seconds, release the arrow buttons, and a maintenance menu will appear, asking if you want to reset. 3. Press and hold the SET reset button for more than 3 seconds, then press the MODE button, and finally turn off the ignition switch. Taking the Emgrand 2021 UP 1.5L manual comfort model as an example: its dimensions are 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm, and a top speed of 170 kilometers per hour.
I've been driving my Geely Emgrand for three to four years and have reset the maintenance reminder light several times—it's quite straightforward. First, turn the key to the ON position in the ignition switch to power up the dashboard without starting the engine. Then locate the TRIP button on the steering wheel or dashboard, press and hold it for about 10-15 seconds until the maintenance light blinks a few times and turns off. Note that button placement may vary by model year, so checking the owner's manual beforehand is recommended. My first attempt failed because I released the button too soon, but I learned to wait patiently—once the light goes off, the system resets and starts tracking the next maintenance interval. Remember, this light serves as a reminder for scheduled servicing. However, if resetting fails, it might indicate a system issue. It's best to visit a workshop to check the oil level and actual vehicle condition rather than relying solely on the light, ensuring you don't miss genuine maintenance needs.
To reset the maintenance reminder light, I often help fellow car owners in the group with this procedure. The method is: After turning off the engine, switch the ignition to the ACC position (dashboard lights on but engine not started). Then press and hold the TRIP RESET button (usually a small round button on the steering wheel) for about 10 seconds until the light automatically resets. If unsure about the button location, check the vehicle's user manual or search online for model-specific diagrams to avoid incorrect operations that may disrupt the system. The maintenance light is designed to prevent owners from forgetting oil or filter changes, so after resetting, record the current mileage for easy comparison at the next service. If the light doesn't respond, it might indicate a battery issue or loose connection – in such cases, contact professional repair services directly.
As a family car owner, I use the Geely Emgrand to pick up and drop off my kids, and the maintenance light reset is quite a practical operation. Here are the steps: First, turn off the engine and rotate the key one notch to the ON position—just enough for the dashboard to light up. Then, press and hold the TRIP button next to the dashboard firmly without moving it. Wait for about 8-10 seconds until the indicator light goes off. If you're unfamiliar with the buttons and can't locate them, it's safer to ask a technician at the 4S store for guidance rather than fiddling around at home and causing issues. After resetting, the light reminder starts counting again, which helps remind you to maintain the engine on time and prolong its lifespan.
