Here is a detailed introduction on how to reset the maintenance light for Great Wall H6: 1. Maintenance light reset Insert the key and power on, but do not start the engine. Press the reset button once, and the dashboard will display options that can be reset. Each press switches to a different option. After selecting the desired option to reset, press and hold for three seconds to successfully reset. 2. For those requiring diagnostic computer reset, remind the technician to reset the car's maintenance system after each service, otherwise the maintenance system will keep prompting the owner for maintenance. If the car frequently drives in congested areas, maintenance can be done in advance. 3. Many cars nowadays have maintenance reminder functions. After maintenance, it is necessary to reset the system, otherwise the maintenance reminder system will assume that the owner has not performed maintenance and will continue to prompt for it. The maintenance reminder function is no longer a new feature.
As a long-term owner of a Great Wall Haval H6, I've driven it for nearly eight years and have performed the maintenance light reset operation several times. The general steps are: get in the car, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then use the left or right button on the steering wheel to navigate the dashboard menu, find the maintenance settings, select reset, and confirm. There might be slight variations for different model years—my 2018 H6 was reset this way, while post-2019 models may have slightly different button placements. It's best to check the user manual rather than guessing. The maintenance light isn't a big issue, but remember to reset it promptly as it reminds you of the next service based on mileage or time, like oil changes, brake checks, and other basic items, which are good for the car's longevity. Last time, I got lazy and didn’t reset it—the light kept flashing for months until I finally went to the repair shop, got scolded, and spent a small amount to fix it. Don’t take it lightly. Developing good maintenance habits keeps your car running smoother and safer. After all, even durable Great Wall vehicles rely on proper upkeep—details matter.
I've always enjoyed tinkering with my car. The Great Wall H6 is my first DIY car. Resetting the maintenance light is quite easy to get started with. Try these methods: first, turn the power to the ACC position without starting the engine, then look at the dashboard. Use the multifunction steering wheel controls to navigate left and right arrows to find the maintenance menu. Select the reset or similar option and confirm. Usually, that's all it takes. There are plenty of step-by-step videos online—I searched for "Great Wall H6 clear maintenance light" on forums or short video platforms, and found tons of tutorials. However, beginners should be careful not to press other settings randomly. After resetting, the light will go off, indicating that the next reminder count has started. But don’t just rely on the light—when the maintenance period is due, actually go for servicing. Change filters, fluids, etc., and don’t delay. Ignoring this signal could turn minor issues into major ones. I’ve seen a friend forget maintenance, leading to engine noise and repair costs several times higher. Before doing anything, it’s safest to check the manual or ask the 4S store for clarification. Anyway, it’s not that hard.
