Last time when the maintenance light on my Great Wall WEY VV7 was on, I figured out a DIY method to reset it. The maintenance light appears as a small wrench icon, indicating it's time for an oil and filter change. First, park the car and turn off the engine. Sit in the driver's seat without pressing the brake pedal, then press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel for five seconds without releasing. Next, quickly press the start button twice to power on the vehicle – the dashboard will light up completely, but don't start the engine. Watch the dashboard for about ten seconds, and the wrench icon will disappear on its own. I've tried this method twice and it worked both times. However, if the light remains on after this procedure, it likely means the maintenance is seriously overdue, and you should take the car to a 4S shop for proper servicing immediately. I recommend performing this reset after each maintenance service, so the next time the light comes on, it truly indicates maintenance is needed. It's also quite convenient to replace the air filter or check tire pressure yourself – keeping a tire pressure gauge in the car can save a lot of trouble.

Nothing is more annoying than dashboard warning lights popping up while driving. The maintenance reminder light on the VV7 is actually quite easy to resolve. Here are the practical steps: First, turn off the power and sit in the car. With your right hand, press and hold the OK button with the checkmark on the right side of the steering wheel. With your other hand, press the start button to power on the vehicle—make sure not to step on the brake to start the engine. At this point, the dashboard will light up for a self-check. Keep holding the OK button for about 10 seconds until the wrench icon disappears, then you can release it. If the light remains on afterward, it might mean the last maintenance wasn’t fully reset, and it’s best to have it checked at the dealership. Honestly, this design is quite thoughtful—my neighbor’s older car requires a computer connection to clear the light. As a side note, for maintenance intervals, if you mostly drive in the city, pay attention around 7,000–8,000 kilometers. If you do more highway driving, you can stretch it to around 10,000 kilometers.

When I first got my VV7, the maintenance light gave me a scare, but it's actually quite simple to reset. The key is a combination of steering wheel button operations: after turning off the car, hold the OK button continuously without releasing, then power on until the dashboard lights up, and maintain this for ten seconds—that's it. If the light doesn’t go off after three or four attempts, it's best not to force it, as there might be abnormal maintenance data or a program issue. A quick visit to the 4S shop for a computer reset takes just two minutes, and it’s a good opportunity to get a full vehicle check for peace of mind. Remember to check the oil dipstick level after the maintenance reminder disappears; the first service for a new car is especially important.
