While the engine is running, switch the display to the short-distance odometer "A". Turn off the engine switch, and when pressing the short-distance odometer reset button, switch the engine switch to the "ON" position. Continue holding the switch until the short-distance odometer displays "000000".
When I previously serviced my BAIC Senova D50, I also encountered the issue of the maintenance light coming on. Generally, it reminds me that it's time for routine maintenance. The reset operation is actually quite simple. First, turn the key to the off position, then press and hold the reset button on the dashboard. Next, turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine, hold for about 5 to 10 seconds, and wait until the maintenance light on the dashboard goes off before releasing the button. I recommend checking the owner's manual first to confirm the exact location, as the button may vary between different models. This little trick saves both time and money. If you maintain your car on schedule, it will perform better and extend the engine's lifespan. I always feel much more at ease after doing it, especially since a constantly lit light can be quite annoying and distracting—safety first, after all.
As someone who has been repairing cars for a long time, I think dealing with this maintenance light reset requires careful attention. The reset procedure for the BAIC Senova D50 is roughly as follows: turn off the ignition switch, locate and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard without releasing it; then turn the key to the ON position and wait a few seconds until the light flashes and goes out before releasing the button. It's best to do this when the engine is cold to avoid battery interference. I recommend that car owners regularly check the engine oil and filters. This light is actually a computer-controlled reminder system, and if not reset, it can disrupt the next maintenance cycle and affect performance. Daily maintenance should never be taken lightly—don’t be afraid of the hassle, try operating it once yourself and you’ll get the hang of it.
