Changan CS75 maintenance light reset method: 1. Turn the car key to the ON position (turn the key twice, or press the start button twice for keyless ignition); 2. Then press the selection button on the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle status, and hold the reset button for about 5 seconds (keep the reset button pressed without releasing); 3. Finally, turn off the power, remember not to release the reset button, then turn on the vehicle power again. The Changan CS75 is a compact SUV, offering two engine options: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power output of 158 horsepower, and a 1.8L turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 177 horsepower.

I've been driving my CS75 for several years, and clearing the maintenance reminder is actually quite simple, saving you the hassle of visiting a repair shop. The specific method is to first ensure the vehicle is stationary and completely turned off, then press and hold the TRIP button or odometer display button on the dashboard without letting go. Next, turn the key to the position where the dashboard lights up but don't start the engine, and hold it like this for 10 to 15 seconds. You'll see the maintenance light flash and then go off—release the button once that happens. Before performing this, it's best to check the owner's manual to confirm the button location to avoid pressing the wrong one. I recommend resetting it promptly after maintenance to prevent the light from constantly flashing and distracting you, and it also helps remind you of the next service time. If the light turns off and then comes back on, there might be a system issue or it might genuinely be time for maintenance, in which case you should visit a professional shop for inspection. Practicing this method regularly makes your driving experience more reassuring and saves time and effort.

From a technical perspective, eliminating the CS75 maintenance light requires understanding some vehicle system logic. As someone who frequently works on cars, I find the operation relatively simple. The core steps involve holding down the instrument control button (such as the TRIP button), then turning the ignition to the ON position to trigger the computer's reset procedure. Detailed steps: First, turn off the engine and park the vehicle. Press and hold the TRIP button without releasing, turn the key to the position where the dashboard lights up, and patiently wait for 10 to 20 seconds until the light goes off before releasing. If the light doesn't turn off, it might be due to low battery voltage or a system fault—consult the manual in such cases. This indicator is designed to remind you of scheduled maintenance. After manually resetting, it will return to normal, but don't abuse this feature, as ignoring actual issues could affect the vehicle's lifespan. For first-time attempts, it's advisable to have a friend assist or practice beforehand to ensure safety before hitting the road.

When I first bought the CS75, I was also worried about what to do if the maintenance light kept coming on. After some exploration, I found that resetting it is super simple, and even a beginner can easily handle it. Just park and turn off the engine, locate the button on the instrument panel and hold it down, then turn the key to light up the instrument panel without starting the engine. Count patiently for 10 seconds, and the light will go off. Don’t be afraid of failure—if it doesn’t work, just try again until you get the hang of it. This indicator is just a reminder; it doesn’t affect driving but can be annoying. Learning to reset it saves time and enhances the driving experience. If the light remains on after the operation, it might be a system bug or a sign that maintenance is needed—in that case, it’s safer to seek help at the 4S shop. In short, be brave—DIY once, and you’ll gain a new skill.

Regarding the CS75 maintenance light reset, my advice is to proceed with caution to avoid risks. The method involves turning off the engine, pressing the dashboard button such as the TRIP button, then turning the key to the ON position and waiting for 10 seconds until the light goes off. However, if your vehicle has interconnected warning lights or you're unsure about the buttons, it's better not to force it. Incorrect DIY attempts might lead to false maintenance status reports or even damage the circuitry. The best recommendation is to have the technician reset it after servicing or refer to the manual for professional steps. Never ignore a flashing maintenance indicator; it warns of overdue service to prevent major issues. Under the principle of safety first, if you're not familiar with DIY, heading straight to a reliable repair shop is the most hassle-free approach, protecting your car and saving on repair costs in the long run.
