I've owned several Outlanders, and the maintenance light reset procedure is quite straightforward. First, turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine, putting the vehicle in ON mode. Then locate the TRIP button on the instrument cluster—usually a key on the left side or below the steering wheel—and hold it down for about five seconds. You'll see the maintenance light blink and then turn off, indicating a successful reset. Remember to confirm that maintenance has been completed before performing this action; otherwise, resetting it would be pointless. This habit is crucial because if you don't reset it, the light will stay on, distracting you and potentially misleading you into ignoring other vehicle issues. From my experience, some model years have slightly different button placements. If pressing it doesn't work, the button might be worn out or have poor contact—try gently tapping or cleaning the connector. If it still doesn’t respond, take it to a repair shop for inspection. Safety first—make sure the car is parked and stationary during the operation. Doing this regularly can extend your beloved car's lifespan.
