As an experienced Dongfeng Fengshen owner, I deal with the maintenance light issue directly. Usually, when the light comes on while driving, it reminds me to go to the 4S shop for maintenance, but manual clearing also works. The method is: sit in the car, turn the key to the ACC position, but don't start the engine; then hold down the small mileage button on the dashboard without letting go, and after about 10 seconds, watch the maintenance icon disappear on the screen before releasing. If it doesn't work, you can try restarting the car and repeating the operation. This method works because the system requires a manual reset of the reminder interval, saving the trouble of going to the repair shop and helping you pay timely attention to the car's condition. Not dealing with the maintenance light promptly may lead to neglecting oil changes or key maintenance, affecting the engine's lifespan. My AX7 has been used for more than three years, and I often handle it this way, making the car run smoother.

I enjoy DIY car repairs, and for the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 maintenance light reset, I recommend the manual reset method. Before starting, ensure the engine is off and the key is turned to the ON position without starting the engine. Then, press the left button on the steering wheel or the TRIP button on the dashboard multiple times to enter the service menu. Once you find the maintenance option, select reset to complete the process. Sometimes, the light will blink a few times to indicate success. It's advisable to perform this operation regularly to prevent the light from staying on and interfering with driving visibility. Relatedly, the maintenance light is designed to remind owners to change the oil on time, so don't let it waste electricity or falsely indicate a fault. I often check the battery voltage to ensure it's stable, as low voltage may cause the reset to fail. This method is simple and quick, reducing reliance on professional tools and saving owners both hassle and money.

The maintenance light turning on while driving can indeed be annoying. My method for handling the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 is to turn the key to the second position without starting the engine; hold the odometer button for a few seconds, and release it once the light goes off. If it doesn't disappear, a visit to the 4S shop might be necessary for a check-up. After resetting, remember to check the user manual to ensure the next maintenance interval is set correctly. Don't ignore the light, as it can mislead you into skipping an oil change, which can damage the engine in the long run. My experience is that a simple reset can enhance driving comfort and avoid unnecessary repair costs.
