How to reset the maintenance light on Maxus G50?
3 Answers
Turn on the ignition, then press and hold the reset button on the instrument panel. Turn off the ignition while keeping the reset button pressed. Continue holding the reset button until the clock and mileage display on the instrument panel completely disappear, then release the button. Press and hold the reset button again, turn on the ignition, and the maintenance reminder light will start flashing. Keep holding the reset button until the maintenance reminder stops flashing, then release the button to complete the maintenance light reset. Additional information is as follows: 1. Maintenance reminder: The original purpose of the vehicle maintenance light is to remind the owner to perform maintenance as soon as possible. When the maintenance reminder light comes on, the owner should schedule maintenance promptly. After maintenance is completed, the service staff will use a diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light. The fastest and most accurate method to clear the maintenance reminder light is by using a professional diagnostic tool, which individuals typically don't possess. It's recommended to have the reminder light cleared at a 4S shop after maintenance or at an external repair shop. 2. Maintenance reminder function: This serves only as an auxiliary function. The detailed maintenance intervals should still follow the maintenance regulations. If the car battery is disconnected for an extended period, the system may not correctly calculate the time for the next maintenance due.
Last time I drove the Maxus G50, I also encountered the issue of the maintenance light not being reset. It took me a bit of effort to figure it out. First, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Then, locate the button on the left side of the steering wheel (usually the odometer reset button), press and hold it firmly for about 5 to 10 seconds. Keep an eye on the dashboard, and the small yellow light will turn off. That means it's reset. However, be aware that if the car has just been serviced but the light wasn't reset in time, it might come back on later, giving you an unnecessary scare. It's best to check the oil and filters every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Don’t rely solely on the reminder light—doing things like changing the air filter yourself can save you a lot of money. A car is like a person; take good care of it, and it won’t give you trouble on the road.
I'm used to doing some simple car repairs myself, and resetting the maintenance light for the Maxus G50 is really not complicated. Turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine, then find the 'Maintenance' option in the steering wheel control area or the dashboard menu. Just select it and press the confirm button, waiting a few more seconds. Don't forget to ensure the battery voltage is stable during the operation, otherwise it's easy to fail—I once spent half a day struggling in dim garage lighting. If it really doesn't work, don't force it; check the owner's manual or visit a 4S store for free service—they can get it done in a minute. By the way, a reminder: don’t just change the oil during maintenance; check tire and brake pad wear too. Small issues can pile up into bigger, more expensive, and troublesome repairs. Safety first, and developing the habit of doing more hands-on work is never a bad idea.
