First, turn off the ignition switch, then press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously. Next, turn on the ignition switch and hold for about 3 seconds before releasing the two arrow buttons. The reset menu will appear. When prompted to reset, press and hold the SET (reset) button for more than 3 seconds, then press the MODE button. Finally, turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset process.

I've been resetting the maintenance light on my Roewe RX5 by myself. The operation is simple but requires attention to detail. First, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine. Then locate the small trip button or reset button on the instrument panel, usually marked with RESET or similar. Press and hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds until you see the maintenance indicator light start flashing, then completely go off, which means the reset is successful. Don't rush the process - pressing for insufficient time might not work. This function is actually a mileage-based reminder mechanism. After resetting, it starts counting again to remind you of the next scheduled maintenance like oil changes. When I first bought the car, I didn't know this and wasted money at the dealership, but now I've learned to save both money and hassle. Remember that after resetting, don't forget to actually perform the maintenance, otherwise carbon buildup will increase and the engine noise will become louder. Ensure the battery has sufficient power during operation, and avoid doing it in rainy or humid conditions.

I have some knowledge about car interior systems, and the RX5 maintenance light reset operation is smart and intuitive. Turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine, locate the TRIP button on the dashboard, and hold it for about 8 seconds until the light goes off. The system controls the reset process via the onboard computer. If the light flashes several times before disappearing, that's normal. Most RX5 owner's manuals detail the exact location, usually the button is below the dashboard without requiring tools. This reset clears the maintenance counter to ensure accurate reminders, which is crucial for extending engine life. My car maintenance routine includes regularly checking this to avoid missing service intervals, as deteriorated oil can cause engine vibrations. If the operation fails, it might be due to poor button contact—try cleaning dust or attempting at another time. Don’t be lazy and go to a repair shop; learning to do it yourself saves costs.

Decades of driving experience tell me that resetting the RX5 maintenance light is no different from other cars. After turning off the engine, rotate the key to the IGN position without starting it. The reset button is usually on the dashboard labeled RESET—just press and hold until the light goes off. It takes less than a minute and saves a trip to the dealership. The key is not to delay actual maintenance after resetting. I've seen novice drivers forget this, leading to engine oil burning issues—a real headache. Stick to DIY maintenance for peace of mind, even on long trips. The car's dashboard system is designed for easy operation—don't let it go to waste.
