At this point, the dashboard will display a maintenance reminder; press and hold the "OK" button on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the vehicle's main menu. The first option in the submenu is to restore factory settings, and the second is to reset the maintenance mileage; select the maintenance reset option. Simultaneously press the "Menu" button on the steering wheel and the "NIGHTVISION" button in the central control system. After holding for a few seconds, the gray option will turn white, and pressing the "OK" button will reset the maintenance light.

I've encountered the issue of resetting the Leopaard maintenance light multiple times during my usual car repairs. Generally, the method depends on the model year. For newer models like the Leopaard CS10, you can proceed as follows: First, turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine; then locate the small button on the dashboard and press it for about 5-10 seconds. At this point, the maintenance light will either flash or turn off, indicating a successful reset. If this doesn't work, try pressing the button while stepping on the brake pedal or refer to the specific steps in the user manual. Resetting the maintenance light helps avoid false alarms and extends sensor lifespan. If you frequently ignore it, the vehicle's maintenance system will record fault codes, affecting the accuracy of other electronic components. It's advisable to address it promptly after each maintenance service. If you really can't manage it, visit a 4S dealership to have professional technicians reset it using diagnostic tools - it's usually free and reliable. Don't forget to check if there are any issues with the circuit connections to prevent repeated reset failures.

I've been driving for over ten years, and I remember when the maintenance light came on in my first Leopaard, I had no idea what to do. So I went online and found a tutorial to try. The method was to turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then hold down a multifunction button on the center console for a few seconds until the light went off, which meant success. Sometimes it took a few attempts because poor contact could cause failure. It's a simple thing, but resetting it saves worry and hassle, otherwise the constant reminder can be distracting. By the way, the maintenance light is usually triggered by a mileage or time-based algorithm, and after resetting, the system starts counting again. If you can't manage it yourself, don't force it—you might accidentally press other buttons, which could affect safety. I suggest beginners first check the car's manual or join an owner's group to ask for advice, which is very practical.

To reset the Leopard maintenance light, the core step is entering the vehicle maintenance mode. First, turn the ignition switch to the ACC position without starting the engine; then locate the small button near the dashboard, press and hold it firmly until the indicator stops flashing. The entire process is quick and straightforward, aimed at clearing the system's maintenance reminder. If the reset fails, check for a loose button or aged wiring, and replace the component if necessary. Performing this operation regularly helps maintain instrument accuracy and prevents false alarms.
