The method to reset the maintenance light on BYD S6 is as follows: Turn the key to the ON position (do not start the engine), when the dashboard lights up, press the confirmation button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel. A series of prompts will appear on the dashboard. When the maintenance reminder appears, enter the menu to see the maintenance cycle mileage and days, then select reset. The step-by-step operation method for resetting the BYD S6 maintenance light is: 1. First press the car start button to power on the vehicle. 2. Then check the dashboard, where the oil maintenance reminder will appear. 3. Press the SET button on the steering wheel. 4. Press the SEL button on the right side of the steering wheel. 5. Press the cancel button on the steering wheel. 6. Finally, the maintenance reminder on the dashboard will be reset.

I've been driving a BYD S6, and resetting the maintenance light is quite simple: After turning off the engine, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard for a few seconds without releasing it. Then, turn the key to the ON position (do not start the engine), continue holding the button for 10-15 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance indicator light go off. This method works for most S6 models across different years. The maintenance light is meant to remind you to change the oil or perform regular maintenance, and resetting it ensures accurate calculation of the next service interval. If the operation fails, it could be due to a faulty button or system issue. It's advisable to check the owner's manual or visit a BYD service center, as safe driving is the top priority. Before attempting, make sure your hands are dry to avoid short circuits. Successfully resetting it yourself can save you tens of dollars in service fees, but don't force it if it doesn't work.

The first time I tried resetting it, I was quite curious, but the actual operation wasn't difficult: With the engine off, press and hold the ODO button for a long time without releasing it, then turn the key to power on the car (don't start the engine), and keep holding the button for about 10 seconds—the light will automatically disappear. Resetting this light is to recalculate the maintenance mileage; if not handled promptly, it will keep reminding you and distract from driving. When I encountered it in my car, I looked up a video tutorial online and succeeded on the first try. However, the button location might vary for different model years of the S6—for example, some have a toggle button near the steering wheel. If the light doesn't go off, don't worry; it might be due to incorrect steps or a car issue. It's best to ask a nearby mechanic; they know the tricks and can handle it easily, saving both time and money.

Having worked on many BYD models, the method to reset the maintenance light is similar: First, turn off the power, press the triangular button or RESET button on the right side of the dashboard, then turn to key-on state and keep holding until the indicator light disappears. Resetting the S6 maintenance light ensures accurate maintenance records and prevents overdue usage. I recommend owners try this method; if it doesn't work, drive to a 4S shop where we can resolve it instantly with professional tools—safe and efficient. Note: Use clean fingers during operation to prevent accidental touches. Resetting after maintenance extends vehicle lifespan.
