How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Great Wall Florid?
4 Answers
There are two methods to reset the maintenance light on a Great Wall Florid: 1. Use an automotive computer diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light; 2. Manual reset method: Press and hold the reset button A while stepping on the brake, turn the ignition switch to ON, until the display enters the setup menu, then select the oil life reset option. The purpose of the maintenance light is to record the mileage of important components, functioning like a timer to remind the car owner and maintenance personnel. Taking the 2011 Great Wall Florid as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 3950mm, width 1717mm, height 1542mm, wheelbase of 2368mm, fuel tank capacity of 45L, and a curb weight of 1091kg.
My Coolbear's maintenance light came on before, and resetting it manually is actually quite simple. First, turn the key to the OFF position to ensure the power is completely off, then press and hold the mode button or reset button on the instrument panel without releasing it. At this point, turn the key to the ON position, but be careful not to start the engine. After counting about five seconds, the maintenance indicator light will automatically go off. If it doesn't work, try another button, sometimes it's the button on the end of the turn signal lever. After completing the reset, remember to perform the next maintenance on time, as this light is meant to remind us to service the car. The operation for Great Wall models is generally similar, and it's good to keep the manual in the glove box for reference.
Resetting the maintenance light requires careful operation. First, turn the key completely off, then press and hold the adjustment button on the dashboard. Next, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, and hold for five seconds to complete. The first time I did it, I was worried about pressing the wrong button, but I found the Brilliance car to be very user-friendly. After resetting, the dashboard will display the next maintenance mileage, and it's recommended to set the interval according to the maintenance manual for reliability. By the way, if this light stays on, it can be distracting while driving, so it's better to take care of it sooner rather than later. Taking it to a repair shop for this would incur labor costs, but trying it yourself carries no risk.
Turn off the engine, press and hold the instrument button, power on for five seconds to reset the maintenance light. Most Brilliance owners use this trick to get it done, the instrument panel button is usually the odometer toggle switch. Make sure the car is parked on level ground during operation, and it's safer to put it in neutral and engage the handbrake. After resetting, remember to check the oil dipstick, as the maintenance light is just a reminder and cannot replace actual vehicle condition checks. I just handled it last week, much easier than I thought.
