The method to reset the maintenance light on a Mistra is as follows: 1. With the engine turned off, press and hold the short-distance trip counter reset button located below the tachometer; 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then release the short-distance trip counter reset button. The display will show the SERVIC indicator; 3.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position again, and the SERVICE indicator will disappear. The Mistra is a mid-size sedan produced by Beijing Hyundai. Its body dimensions are 4710mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2770mm. The vehicle features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've been driving this Mistra for several years now, and after every maintenance at the 4S shop, I manually reset the maintenance reminder light. It's quite simple, so let me share the experience with you. First, make sure the car is completely turned off with the key removed and untouched. Then locate and hold down the TRIP button or odometer button near the steering wheel. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and keep holding for 5 to 10 seconds until the wrench light flashes and resets. Note that different model years of Mistra might have slight variations in the procedure - for example, newer models may require accessing the maintenance reset option in the center console screen settings menu, so checking the manual is always accurate. Don't forget to note down the next maintenance date and put up a reminder after resetting. Regular oil changes and inspections can keep your car running longer with fewer issues, giving you more peace of mind when driving on highways.
As a car owner who often works on your own vehicle, resetting the maintenance light on a Hyundai Mistra is an easy DIY task. First, turn off the engine and completely disconnect the key. Look for a button on the dashboard or steering wheel, usually labeled "RESET" or similar, and hold it down without releasing. Then, turn the key to the ACC position and wait about five seconds until the maintenance indicator light goes off, indicating a successful reset. Remember not to release the button midway. Using an OBD diagnostic tool is more professional, but it's best for beginners not to try it, as accidentally changing settings could cause more trouble. Try it once to familiarize yourself with the steps and develop the habit of resetting it after each maintenance to avoid repeated annoying reminders and prevent premature engine wear.
