How to reset the maintenance light on a Haval F5?

Haval F5 maintenance light reset method is as follows: 1. The Haval F5's trip odometer is divided into Trip A and Trip B. To reset Trip A: On the dashboard display showing Trip A, press and hold the OK button on the steering wheel to reset Trip A. When Trip A is reset to zero, the Haval F5's maintenance reminder will be cleared. 2. Trip B reset method: Trip B does not require manual reset as it represents the distance traveled after the engine starts. Therefore, when the car's ignition switch is turned to LOCK mode for 4 hours, Trip B will automatically reset to zero.
I remember when I was driving my Haval F5, the maintenance light suddenly came on, which made me a bit worried about whether it would affect the car's condition. After checking the manual, I found it was quite simple: first, turn off the ignition switch, then press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel without releasing it. Next, turn on the ignition switch but don't start the engine. After about four or five seconds, the dashboard will flash a prompt, and at this point, release the button—the maintenance light will turn off. Actually, this light is a reminder that it's time for an oil change or routine inspection. Resetting it regularly can save a lot of trouble. After learning my lesson, I now reset it promptly after every maintenance, which not only saves money but also ensures the vehicle's longevity. If you can't manage it, it's best to visit the 4S shop, as maintenance records are quite important to them. In short, don’t ignore this little light—it helps car owners avoid major problems in advance.
The maintenance light on the Haval F5 is set by the onboard computer, and I figured it out after tinkering a few times. The general method is to turn off the engine, hold down a combination of buttons on the steering wheel (such as the trip reset button), then turn the key to the ACC position and wait a few seconds until the light goes off. If you're a new owner without the manual, don't worry—online forums and fellow car enthusiasts often share video guides. The principle behind it is that the system triggers a warning after reaching the preset mileage or time, and resetting it clears the preset values. It's recommended to have the technician reset it for you after each service and check if the sensors are functioning properly, otherwise frequent light warnings might indicate deeper issues. This method is quite safe as long as you avoid incorrect operations, and mastering it can save you time and money on trips to the shop.
