First, press the button on the right side of the dashboard. Turn on the ignition to power the vehicle, then continue holding the button on the right side of the dashboard until the maintenance reminder light turns off. Below is some related information about the Refine S2: 1. The Refine S2 is a compact SUV under JAC, equipped with two engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. 2. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers 113 horsepower and a maximum torque of 146 Nm, with peak torque available between 3,500 and 4,500 rpm and maximum power at 6,000 rpm. This engine features DVVT technology and multi-point fuel injection, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT. 3. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine produces 120 horsepower and a maximum torque of 150 Nm, with peak torque available between 3,500 and 4,500 rpm and maximum power at 6,000 rpm.

When I first started driving the JAC Refine S2, the maintenance light would come on and I'd be completely clueless. Later, a friend taught me how to reset it, and it turned out to be quite simple. Turn the key completely off without starting the engine, then locate the small button on the dashboard, usually the trip reset button. Hold it down, turn the key to the ACC position (where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start), and keep pressing for about 10 to 15 seconds. You'll see the maintenance light flash and then turn off—just release the button, and you're done. I do this after every maintenance to avoid the annoying flashing light. The maintenance light is a handy reminder, indicating it's time to check the oil or replace the filter after every 5,000 kilometers or six months. If you don't reset it, the light stays on but doesn't affect driving. However, ignoring maintenance for too long can increase engine wear or fuel consumption. So I recommend car owners take a few minutes to learn this trick and pair it with a regular maintenance schedule to keep their cars more durable and cost-effective.
As someone who frequently handles car maintenance, the steps to reset the maintenance light on a JAC Refine S2 are quite simple. First, ensure the car is turned off and the key is in the off position. Press and hold the button on the dashboard, usually the multifunction button or the mileage reset button. While keeping it pressed, turn the key to the on position to illuminate the dashboard lights, then hold for about 10 seconds until the maintenance indicator light turns off automatically. This clears and resets the system count. The illumination of the maintenance light is the vehicle's self-check mechanism reminding you of the need for regular maintenance, such as oil changes or brake inspections. Not resetting it won't affect driving functionality, but delaying maintenance can accelerate component wear. Therefore, promptly resetting the light after regular maintenance is a wise practice to extend your car's lifespan. In practice, trying a couple of times will make you proficient, and the entire process requires no professional tools, making it easy to do at home.
