Refine M5 maintenance light reset method: 1. Turn on the ignition switch to power up the vehicle; 2. Press and hold the TRIP button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel for about 3 seconds until the maintenance reminder on the instrument cluster disappears; 3. Release the TRIP button to complete the maintenance light reset. The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to notify owners of scheduled maintenance at certain mileage or time intervals, displayed through instrument/screen messages or indicator lights. The Refine M5 is an MPV model under JAC Motors. Taking the 2021 Refine M5 as an example, its powertrain is equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering maximum power of 110kW and maximum torque of 360Nm, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a long-time owner of the JAC Refine M5, I can tell you that resetting the maintenance light is a DIY job. Here's the simple procedure: First, turn off the engine and all electrical devices. Then locate the small button on the dashboard, usually the trip reset button. Hold it down while turning the key to the ON position (without starting the engine). Wait patiently for 5-10 seconds until the wrench icon disappears or flashes, then release the button. Finally, start the engine to check if the light has turned off. Remember to ensure the vehicle is stationary and the battery has sufficient charge during operation, otherwise it might fail. This light serves as a reminder for oil changes and maintenance - regularly resetting it prevents false alarms. I do this after every oil change to avoid unnecessary garage fees. If unsure about button locations, consulting the manual is safest as tampering could damage electrical systems.
