The method to reset the maintenance light on Jeep Renegade is: 1. With the engine turned off, press the trip odometer reset button; 2. Turn the ignition switch to the 'on' position, release the trip odometer reset button, and the display will show 'service'; 3. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right, the mileage will appear on the screen; 4. Turn off the engine to reset the reminder message; 5. Turn the ignition switch to the 'on' position, and the 'service' message will disappear. The maintenance light is set by the manufacturer to remind the owner to service the vehicle in the form of a message or indicator light. Resetting the maintenance light means zeroing the reminder message.
Last time I helped a friend reset the maintenance light on a Jeep Renegade, the steps were quite simple. First, power on the vehicle without starting the engine, then use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to access the dashboard menu. Navigate to the vehicle information interface. Use the directional keys to find the maintenance-related option, then press and hold the OK button for about 10 seconds until a reset prompt appears on the screen. Confirm the action, and the whole process takes just two minutes. However, be careful not to perform this operation while driving, as it won't take effect. There might be slight variations between different model years; for example, the menu locations differ between the 2016 and 2020 models, so it's best to check the manual or find a corresponding tutorial video online. Doing it yourself can save the time spent waiting in line at the dealership, but if you try three times in a row without success, it might indicate a system malfunction requiring professional attention.
