4 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance light on a Haval H2s is: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, press the CLR button on the right side of the display to confirm the engine oil change information; 2. Press the up and down arrows on the INFO button on the right side of the display to enter the DIC menu; 3. After the '100% Engine Oil Life' menu item is highlighted, hold down the CLR button, and the percentage will reset to 100%, indicating the oil life indicator has been reset; 4. Turn off the ignition switch. Taking the 2018 Haval H2s as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4146mm, width 1772mm, height 1638mm, and a wheelbase of 2550mm.
I once cleared the maintenance light on my Haval H2s myself, and the operation was actually quite simple. First, turn off the engine and make sure the car is in the off state, remembering not to press the brake. Then, press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel without releasing it, while using your other hand to turn the key to the position where the dashboard powers on—that's the position where all the warning lights come on. At this point, you'll see a small wrench-shaped maintenance reminder flashing on the dashboard. Keep holding the OK button for about 10 to 15 seconds until the maintenance light completely turns off. The key is to perform this operation with the power off, otherwise, it's easy to fail. After finishing, remember to start the car and check if the light has really been cleared. The whole process takes at most two minutes, which is much more convenient than making a special trip to the 4S shop.
The maintenance reminder light on the Haval H2s is essentially a memory function. After each service, the mechanic resets it, but doing it yourself isn't difficult either. The key is to locate the OK button on the steering wheel, as the button layout may vary across different models. The specific steps are divided into three parts: First, with the vehicle completely turned off, press and hold the OK button without releasing it. Then, turn the key to the second position to illuminate the dashboard. Finally, continue holding the button until the wrench symbol disappears. If there's no response after 20 seconds, it might be due to operating too quickly or the key position being incorrect. Additionally, the vehicle manual in the spare tire compartment provides detailed instructions on the reset method—consulting the manual is the most reliable approach when encountering issues. By the way, it's advisable to have the technician demonstrate the operation after each service, so you can perform it independently next time.
Maintenance light reset procedures vary by model year. For older H2s models, use the steering wheel button combination: First turn off the ignition while holding the OK button, then power on and hold for 15 seconds until the wrench symbol disappears. Newer models with touchscreens can reset via the central control menu - just navigate to vehicle settings and find the reset option. This light essentially functions as a countdown timer monitoring oil quality and mileage. After self-resetting, remember to service according to actual vehicle condition. If the light keeps reappearing, check for oil-related issues. A simple troubleshooting method is to record the operation process with your phone - if unsuccessful, review the video to identify where the procedure went wrong.
