2 Answers
Turn off the ignition switch, press and hold the trip meter reset button, then turn on the ignition switch. The mileage display will begin counting down. When the display shows "=0", release the button, and the wrench-shaped maintenance indicator light will turn off, indicating the reset is complete. Do not disconnect the battery cable immediately after the reset operation. If necessary, lock the vehicle and wait for 5 minutes to allow the reset operation to take effect before proceeding. The Fengguang ix5 is equipped with a 1.5T engine, model SFG15T. Below are the relevant details: 1. Engine: The SFG15T engine has an actual displacement of 1498ml, with 4 cylinders arranged in an L formation, and features turbocharged intake. The SFG15T engine reaches its maximum power at 5600 RPM and maximum torque at 4000 RPM, with a DOHC valve train. 2. Output Power: The low-power version of the 1.5T engine has a maximum output of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 220 N·m, with a combined fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km as published by the MIIT. The high-power version of the 1.5T engine has a maximum output of 132 kW and a maximum torque of 270 N·m, with a combined fuel consumption of 7.2L/100km as published by the MIIT.
I usually drive a Dongfeng Fengguang ix5, and I've done the maintenance light reset quite a few times. The process is pretty simple: First, turn off the engine, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine—the dashboard will light up. Next, find the TRIP button near the steering wheel or on the dashboard, press and hold it for about ten seconds, and the maintenance light will start flashing and then turn off, successfully reset. Remember, always do this after an oil change or proper maintenance, or the light might mislead you into thinking there's a problem with the car. Don’t skip maintenance—engine repairs due to wear are much more expensive. I recommend car owners regularly check their maintenance records, and the manual also has specific guidelines, but for the ix5, this method usually works. Doing it yourself saves a lot of money and is convenient.
