My Haval F7's maintenance light keeps reminding me it's time for service, but I've learned to reset it myself. The method is quite simple: first, turn the car key to the ON position without pressing the brake to start the engine; then on the dashboard, locate the MENU button and keep pressing it until the system settings menu appears; next, select the maintenance item, hold down the RESET button for about 5 seconds until the light goes off, and you're done. The first time I tried it, I was a bit nervous, afraid of damaging the car, but later I found that as long as you follow the steps, it not only saves the hassle of going to the 4S shop but also doesn't delay the normal reminders. I suggest you give it a try too, and don't forget to check the system prompts again before turning off the engine to avoid any misoperation affecting driving safety.
As a hands-on car enthusiast, I often help friends with maintenance light issues. The reset process for the Haval F7 is quite straightforward: make sure the car is in the power-on state, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the settings page, locate the maintenance information, then press and hold the reset button for a few seconds before releasing—the indicator light will reset to zero. I prefer this kind of DIY because it can be done without tools and saves on repair costs. If you're inexperienced, try consulting the manual or online videos to practice the steps before actual operation. Remember not to do it while driving, as it can be distracting and cause accidents. Overall, it's easier than older car models, making it very suitable for beginners.
