1 Answers
Turn off the ignition, press and hold the 0.0 button at the lower right corner of the instrument panel. Turn on the ignition, you will notice the maintenance indicator wrench symbol on the instrument panel stops blinking. At this point, release the 0.0 button and press the button at the lower left corner. The wrench symbol will disappear from the instrument panel, indicating the maintenance light has been successfully reset. Below is additional information about maintenance lights: 1. The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to notify the owner when scheduled maintenance is due based on mileage or time intervals. It appears as an indicator light or message on the instrument panel or screen. Resetting the maintenance light means clearing the reminder after completing the required maintenance, essentially resetting the notification. 2. The most crucial function of the maintenance reminder is to alert owners about upcoming service dates, helping them avoid potential accidents caused by neglected maintenance. Regular maintenance also extends the vehicle's service life. 3. Routine maintenance involves not just oil and filter changes, but also inspections of critical components such as brake pads and tires to prevent excessive wear that could lead to accidents.
