How to reset the maintenance light on a Teana?
2 Answers
Push the ignition switch to the "ON" position and keep the vehicle stationary. Then use the steering wheel's toggle buttons to switch the instrument display to the maintenance settings. Finally, press and hold the "TRIP-RESET" button for about 5 seconds to reset it, and the maintenance light will disappear. Below are some related information about the maintenance light: Introduction: The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the car manufacturer to alert the owner to perform maintenance at certain mileage or time intervals. It appears in the form of an instrument or screen message or indicator light to remind the owner to service the vehicle. Types: There are three common types: A yellow oil can symbol, a small yellow wrench symbol, or a direct message in Chinese characters stating "Please change the oil soon."
I've been driving a Teana for several years and resetting the maintenance light is something I do regularly. The steps are quite simple. First, turn the key to the ON position, where all the dashboard lights come on but the engine doesn't start. Then locate the ODO or TRIP button on the dashboard, usually a small button on the left or in the middle, and press and hold it firmly. Wait for about ten seconds until the wrench light starts flashing or goes out completely, then release. Different model years of the Teana might have slight variations—older models might require holding the button longer, while newer ones might need additional button combinations. Remember to reset it promptly after maintenance; otherwise, the light staying on can be distracting and affect your mood while driving, though it doesn’t impact normal operation. If it fails, check if the key is in the correct position or if the battery is low. The safest method is to refer to the owner’s manual, which provides clear instructions. Next time the maintenance light comes on, it’ll remind you to visit the dealership—this feature is really user-friendly.
