The method to reset the maintenance light on a Zotye T200: Turn off the ignition switch, press and hold both buttons on the dashboard simultaneously, turn the key until all dashboard lights illuminate, wait for the wrench light to go off, then release the mileage reset button. Finally, turn off the ignition switch and restart the vehicle. The Zotye T200 measures 4005 mm in length, 1570 mm in width, and 1704 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2420 mm. This vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L L4 naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 106 HP, a maximum power output of 78 kW, and a peak torque of 134 Nm. The front suspension of the Zotye T200 is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a five-link non-independent suspension.
I found that the key to resetting the maintenance light on the Zotye T200 is to manually reset it using the dashboard button. First, sit in the driver's seat with the car key in the off position. Locate the trip reset button on the dashboard, usually labeled TRIP or ODO, and press it firmly with your thumb. Then, slowly turn the key to the ON position (power on but engine off), and the dashboard lights will illuminate. Continue holding the button for about 8 to 10 seconds, and you'll notice the maintenance indicator light flashes and then disappears. Patience is crucial throughout the process—pressing too briefly or not firmly enough may cause the reset to fail. The maintenance light is designed to remind you of regular servicing, such as oil changes every few thousand kilometers. Before resetting it, ensure the vehicle has undergone maintenance; otherwise, you might just be masking an issue that could lead to engine wear. If the reset doesn’t work after several attempts, it might be due to unstable battery power or the need for an OBD diagnostic tool. However, most Zotye models can be reset manually, saving you a trip to the repair shop.
