To reset the maintenance light on a Grand Cherokee, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the 'on' position, then intermittently press and release the 'step' button until the maintenance interval distance is displayed on the EVIC. 2. Press and hold the 'reset' button for 3 seconds to reset the maintenance light. The Grand Cherokee is a mid-to-large size 5-door, 5-seat SUV under the Jeep brand, equipped with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and a fuel tank capacity of 93.5L. It is powered by a 3.0L V6 naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 234 HP and a peak torque of 285 Nm. The vehicle dimensions are 4875mm in length, 1943mm in width, and 1792mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2915mm.
I have quite some experience with resetting the maintenance reminder on my Grand Cherokee. Having driven it for nearly a decade, I found this process incredibly simple. Here's the step-by-step: First, turn the key to the ON position (dashboard lights up but don't start the engine). Then locate the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel or the TRIP and RESET buttons on the instrument panel - press and hold them simultaneously for 5-10 seconds until the maintenance light goes off. The whole process takes less than a minute, completely eliminating the need to spend money at repair shops. In my early years when I wasn't familiar with it, I triggered false alarms a couple times, causing unnecessary hassle. Now I check the maintenance status monthly and reset it routinely - not only saving money but also ensuring my vehicle runs safely and reliably. Properly maintained, the Grand Cherokee can significantly reduce unexpected breakdowns.
