How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Great Wall M6?

[EstherFitz]

To reset the maintenance light on a Great Wall M6, follow these steps: Turn off the ignition, press and hold the selection toggle button on the instrument panel; turn the key to the position where all dashboard lights illuminate (the wrench symbol on the dashboard will flash), release the button, then press the selection toggle button on the instrument panel again. The wrench symbol will disappear, indicating the maintenance reset is complete. Taking the 2021 Great Wall M6 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4664mm, width 1830mm, height 1729mm, with a wheelbase of 2680mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The 2021 Great Wall M6 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a double-wishbone independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 210Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I've been driving the Great Wall M6 for several years and have reset the maintenance light myself several times. The specific steps are: first, park the car and turn off the engine, then sit in the driver's seat, find the small button on the left side of the steering wheel, press and hold it, then turn the key to the ACC position (where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start), keep holding the button, and you'll see the maintenance reminder light flash a few times before turning off. The whole process takes just a few seconds and doesn't require any tools. However, remember to reset it after completing the maintenance to avoid fooling yourself and affecting the engine's health. Regular maintenance can also save on repair costs, like changing the oil and filters every few thousand kilometers, which keeps the car running smoother. Once, I forgot to reset it, and the light stayed on for so long that I thought it was a malfunction, but it turned out to be reminding me that the air filter was dirty. In short, doing it yourself is simple and quick.

As a novice driver, I was taught how to reset the maintenance light by the 4S shop technician when I bought the car. The steps aren't complicated: After parking and turning off the engine, hold down the display adjustment button near the steering wheel (I think it's called the trip button), while turning the key to the pre-start position. Wait about 5 seconds, and the light will reset automatically. Be patient during the operation and don't release the button too soon. I recommend checking the user manual first or calling the after-sales service to avoid mistakes that might affect the car's system settings. I tried it once myself, and it went smoothly, saving me a trip to the shop and unnecessary expenses. The maintenance light serves as a reminder for oil changes and such. If it comes on too frequently, it might indicate incomplete maintenance, like insufficient oil pressure or poor air intake, which are worth checking. Proper car maintenance ensures a longer lifespan for your vehicle.

Resetting the maintenance reminder light is quite simple if you want an easy solution. Here's the procedure: After turning off the engine, press and hold the small control button on the dashboard (don't release it), turn the ignition key to the ON position (without pressing the brake or starting the engine), keep holding the button until the light flashes and goes off - that means it's done. As someone who frequently performs DIY vehicle maintenance, I can confirm this function is set through the onboard computer. Resetting it won't affect other performance aspects, but avoid tampering with other settings. It's good practice to maintain a record of your maintenance schedule - for instance, changing engine oil every 6,000 kilometers - this way you won't overlook important items. This habit can actually improve fuel efficiency as your vehicle ages.
