How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Teana?
2 Answers
Push the ignition switch to the "ON" position and ensure the vehicle is 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 is relevant information about the maintenance light: 1. Introduction: The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to prompt the owner to perform maintenance at certain mileage or time intervals. It appears in the form of a dashboard or screen message or indicator light to remind the owner of the required maintenance. 2. Types: There are three common types: a yellow oil can icon, a small yellow wrench icon, or a direct message in Chinese characters stating, "Please change the oil promptly."
As a long-time Teana owner, I know this well! Take my 2018 model for example: Don't start the engine, just power on (press the start button twice). Press and hold the top of the black stalk on the right side of the steering wheel (the round button used to switch dashboard information) for about 10 seconds. The dashboard will flash - immediately release your finger and quickly press the hazard warning light button 3 times. Don't step on the brake pedal during the whole process. When completed, the 'OIL' display on the dashboard will disappear. If you get the sequence wrong and enter engineering mode, don't panic - just power off and restart to try again. Remember the actions must be performed consecutively - moving too slowly will cause it to fail. This method works for mechanical instrument clusters in 2017-2021 models.
