How to reset the maintenance light on Hyundai ix35?
3 Answers
The steps to reset the maintenance light on Hyundai ix35 are: 1. Turn off the ignition switch; 2. Press the clock adjustment button 'set' while turning on the ignition switch; 3. Release the 'set' button, then press the 'set' button once more; 4. Turn off the ignition switch, then turn it on again to check if the light has been reset. If not, repeat the above steps. Taking the 2021 Hyundai ix35 as an example, it is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 160ps and a maximum power of 118kw, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The body dimensions of the 2021 Hyundai ix35 are: length 4500mm, width 1850mm, height 1680mm, with a wheelbase of 2640mm.
As a seasoned car enthusiast who frequently tinkers with vehicles, I find resetting the maintenance light on the Hyundai ix35 quite straightforward. First, turn off the engine and ensure the handbrake is engaged. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard without releasing it, while simultaneously turning the key to the ON position—do not start the engine. At this point, you'll notice a small wrench icon flashing on the dashboard. Continue holding the button for about ten seconds until the wrench symbol disappears, indicating the maintenance light has been reset. The whole process feels like completing a level in a game—I was initially worried about pressing the wrong button during my first attempt, but later realized it’s all about hitting the correct one. Note that button locations may vary by model year; for instance, my friend’s 2018 model has the button on the left side of the steering wheel. Remember, resetting the light only removes the reminder—don’t skip the actual maintenance your car needs.
When I worked at a 4S dealership, I frequently helped customers reset their maintenance reminder lights. The most common method was: First, completely turn off the engine and engage the handbrake. Then, press and hold the reset button on the right side of the dashboard with your left hand, while turning the key to the ON position with your right hand (this powers all vehicle systems without starting the engine). When the dashboard begins displaying self-check information, continue holding the reset button for about 7 seconds until the maintenance warning light turns off automatically. Some newer models also support steering wheel button operations, where you need to navigate to the vehicle settings menu to find the reset option. I recommend recording a short video before each operation - if any issues arise, you can still consult the 4S dealership. After resetting, it's best to drive around briefly to confirm the warning light has actually disappeared. Last time, a customer reported the light was still on, which turned out to be due to incomplete operation.
