How to reset the maintenance light on BAIC Senova X55?
2 Answers
To reset the maintenance light, press and hold the reset button "A" while stepping on the brake pedal. Do not start the car. When the characters "INSP" flash or the display screen blinks, continue to hold down button "A". Release the brake, start the car, and turn the switch back to the "Off" position. The reset process is now complete.
I often handle such issues myself and find that resetting the maintenance light is actually quite simple. For the BAIC Senova X55, the reset method is generally as follows: First, sit in the driver's seat without pressing the brake, then press the start button once to illuminate the dashboard without starting the engine. At this point, you'll notice the maintenance light is still on. Next, locate the reset button on the steering wheel or the small switch on the side of the dashboard, and hold it down for about 5 to 10 seconds until the light turns off or starts flashing, indicating a successful reset. Keep in mind that the button location may vary depending on the model year—for example, the 2017 model uses the left steering wheel button, while the 2019 model might have it near the center console. So, I recommend checking the owner's manual beforehand to avoid mistakes. From my DIY experience, I found that the button can be too stiff and prone to sticking, so it's best to press it with a soft cloth wrapped around your finger to reduce wear. After resetting, don’t forget to perform regular maintenance, such as changing the oil and filters, which can extend the car's lifespan and prevent the light from coming back on. Always ensure the car is in a safe state before attempting any adjustments, and avoid randomly pressing other settings—if something goes wrong, repairs at a dealership can be costly.
