Mitsubishi Outlander maintenance light reset specific operation steps are as follows: 1. Press and hold the maintenance reset shortcut button on the Mitsubishi Outlander dashboard without releasing it; 2. Depress the driver's brake pedal of the Mitsubishi Outlander; 3. Press the one-touch start button of the Mitsubishi Outlander; 4. When the Mitsubishi Outlander's instrument panel lights up, release the maintenance reset shortcut button; 5. Press the OK button on the Mitsubishi Outlander's multifunction steering wheel to confirm the reset. The maintenance light reset method for other Mitsubishi models is as follows: 1. First, start the engine; 2. Then repeatedly press the multi-information display switch until the information screen switches to the maintenance reminder; 3. When the interface information is flashing, press and hold the information display switch to confirm, and the text "CLEAR" will appear on the instrument panel, indicating the maintenance light has been reset.
I used to reset the maintenance light on my Mitsubishi Outlander myself, and the method was quite simple. First, completely turn off the car and remove the key. Then locate the TRIP button on the dashboard, which is the button for switching the mileage display. Hold it down and simultaneously turn the key to the ON position (where the dashboard powers on but the engine doesn't start). Keep holding the button for about 10 seconds until you see the maintenance indicator light start flashing or changing color, then release the button. Finally, turn off the key and power it on again, and the light should go off. However, note that newer models after 2018 may require using the steering wheel controls, and the button positions on older models might differ. If you don't reset it in time, the light will keep flashing—it doesn't affect driving but can be quite annoying. I recommend checking the vehicle manual before attempting this or taking a photo of the dashboard beforehand to ensure you press the right button.
