How to reset the maintenance light on Suzuki Ciaz?
3 Answers
Suzuki Ciaz maintenance light reset method is as follows: On the trip mileage display interface, press the right handle for more than 5 seconds until OIL appears in the lower right area of the display; quickly press the right handle 5 times within 2 seconds; OIL will blink 3 times and then turn off, indicating the reset is complete and the maintenance light is cleared. Additional information: 1. Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. 2. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life. 3. Routine maintenance includes changing engine oil and oil filter, replacing three filters (air, cabin air, and fuel filter), checking and topping up brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid (replacing if necessary). The first maintenance for a new car is at 5,000 km, which is free of charge. Remember to bring the maintenance manual, user manual, service network directory, first free maintenance voucher, and pre-delivery inspection certificate.
My Suzuki Ciaz has been running for over five years, and the maintenance light often comes on, which is quite annoying. I remember the method to reset it is quite simple: first, sit in the driver's seat without starting the engine, and keep the brake pedal pressed. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard (the small button that displays the mileage), and turn the key to the ON position (the second position, without the engine running). Wait a few seconds before releasing the button, and the maintenance light should go off. If the light remains on, it might be because the button wasn't held long enough or the position was incorrect—try a few more times. Sometimes, there are minor differences depending on the model year; for example, post-2015 models might require accessing the system menu. I tried it myself once, and the light wouldn't turn off. Later, I realized the maintenance wasn't fully completed, and the car's computer had locked it, so I had to take it to the dealership for a check. In short, don't be afraid of the hassle. Ensure the car is stable during the operation to avoid accidentally touching other settings. If you really can't figure it out, check the user manual or consult a professional technician.
Resetting the Suzuki Ciaz maintenance light is actually quite simple: Sit in the car without starting the ignition, press and hold the triangular icon or TRIP button on the dashboard for a few seconds; simultaneously turn the key to the ACC or ON position without starting the engine; then release the button to check if the light goes off. This method works for most model years of the Ciaz. I often help friends with this and have found that if the light remains on, the system might not have recognized the reset signal. In such cases, it's advisable to disconnect the battery for a few minutes and try again, or check if it's genuinely time for maintenance—the oil change light can be particularly persistent. Similarly, other Japanese cars like Toyotas have comparable procedures. Before attempting it yourself, review the manual details to avoid unnecessary effort. If the steps fail, promptly visit a repair shop to ensure no critical maintenance is overlooked.
