Great Wall Fengjun 7 maintenance light reset steps are as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and stop the engine, ensuring the vehicle is parked in a safe location; 2. Press and hold the right button on the dashboard, which is the reset button; 3. Turn on the ignition switch while keeping the reset button pressed for several seconds; 4. Wait for a few seconds until the maintenance light enters reset mode, then release the reset button; 5. Within 20 seconds of releasing the reset button, press the left button on the dashboard, which is the "menu" button, to confirm the reset; 6. The maintenance light will then return to its normal display mode, indicating that the flashing maintenance light has been reset.
Last time I drove the Great Wall Wingle 7, I also encountered the maintenance light issue and struggled for a while to figure it out. First, turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine, then look for that small button on the dashboard? Press and hold it, then turn the key to the ON position. The maintenance reminder will appear on the dashboard. Keep holding the button for about ten seconds, and the maintenance light will go off. But I must remind you, resetting the light is one thing, but don’t skip the actual maintenance. This light comes on to remind you that the vehicle needs basic servicing. Delaying oil and filter changes can affect the engine’s lifespan. I once ignored it after resetting the light and only realized my mistake when the engine oil turned black.
I remember resetting the maintenance light for my Wind Booster 7 was done this way: With the engine off, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the ignition-on position. When the wrench icon appears on the instrument panel, release the button and quickly press TRIP once more to turn off the light. Here's a little tip: it's best to release both the accelerator and brake pedals during this operation. Last time, I couldn't get it to work while pressing the brake pedal. If the light doesn't go off after following these steps, it's possible that the mechanic didn't reset the maintenance data during the last service, and you'll need to visit the dealership for a computer reset. Although this light might seem minor, ignoring it is not an option. A friend of mine delayed servicing until the engine started making strange noises.
Actually, it's quite simple to do this: For versions with buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, follow these steps: Turn off the engine, hold down the return button on the right side of the steering wheel, power on until the maintenance information is displayed, then release. For models with physical buttons, just press the small cylinder on the instrument panel. The key is to check if the maintenance reminder is displayed on the central console. If it is, hold down the confirm button for five seconds to complete the process. After the operation, remember to drive a few kilometers to confirm that the light is indeed off. However, I must remind you that the maintenance light is like a health monitor for your car. It will definitely come on after the first 5,000 kilometers for new cars, and then maintenance should be done every 7,500 to 8,000 kilometers. Don't risk damaging the engine just to save a few hundred bucks.
