I remember one time the maintenance light on my Brilliance Zhonghua came on while I was rushing to work. I thought going to the 4S shop would be too troublesome, so I decided to handle it myself. The process was quite simple: first, turn the car key to the ON position without starting the engine, then locate the small TRIP button on the dashboard, press and hold it for about ten seconds, and the light would turn off by itself. After finishing, I restarted the car to confirm it was gone, saving me hundreds in labor costs. This light is a system reminder that it's time to change the oil or check the brakes. Never just clear it and ignore the issue, or it could lead to serious vehicle malfunctions next time. I suggest that regular maintenance should never be taken lightly.

If you enjoy DIY car maintenance, resetting the maintenance light is a breeze. Simply turn the key to the ACC position, hold down the trip reset button for 10-15 seconds until the light goes off—done! I do this regularly, and it takes less than a minute, saving me from false alarms that could ruin my drive. But remember: the light is your car’s health reminder. Resetting it only clears the mileage counter, so always check the manual for scheduled upkeep—especially for filters or fluids—to stay safe on the road.

The maintenance light coming on is a warning signal, and simply resetting it without addressing the underlying issue carries significant risks. Having driven a Brilliance Auto for many years, my method is to place the key in the ON position, press the TRIP button, and wait for the reset. Avoid rushing to start the engine; just wait for the light to go off. Once completed, immediately schedule a comprehensive inspection to ensure there are no hidden issues with the tires or engine oil. The light is designed to prevent accidents—I’ve seen others ignore it and end up paying hefty repair costs later. Safety first: resetting plus proper maintenance is the wise approach.
