Suzuki SX4 maintenance light reset method: 1. First turn off the ignition switch, press and hold the trip reset button on the combination meter, then turn on the ignition switch; 2. The odometer will start counting, when it displays 0000.0, release the button and the maintenance light will turn off. Note: After completing this operation, if you need to disconnect the battery cable, you must lock the vehicle and wait at least 5 minutes, otherwise the control unit will not reset. The distinctive U-shaped arc design on the front face of Changan Suzuki SX4 is inspired by the UPRIGHT concept, paired with crystal diamond eagle-eye headlights, giving it a fashionable appeal. The ML6A engine equipped in Changan Suzuki SX4 features a VVT variable valve timing system, delivering excellent power performance and fuel economy. In terms of body dimensions, this car measures 4135mm in length, 1755mm in width, and 1605mm in height.

I've been driving my Suzuki SX4 for years, and resetting the maintenance light is pretty straightforward but don't rush it. First, turn off the engine and make sure the car is parked and not moving. Locate the reset button on the dashboard, probably near the steering wheel—it might be labeled 'Trip' or something similar. Press and hold it firmly, then turn the key to the 'On' position (the position just before starting the engine, where the dashboard lights up but the engine isn't running). Hold it for a few seconds, around 5-10 seconds, and the maintenance light will either start flashing or turn off completely—that's when you can let go. Last time, I released the button before the light flashed, and it didn't work, so I had to do it again. If the light is on, it means it's time for an oil change or vehicle inspection. Not resetting it promptly might mislead you into skipping maintenance, so I make a habit of doing this after every service. For safety, beginners can check the owner's manual for detailed steps to avoid making the same mistakes I did.

From a maintenance perspective, the Suzuki SX4 maintenance light reset is a standard procedure primarily for resetting the reminder interval. The methods are largely similar: park and turn off the engine, press and hold the instrument button without releasing, turn the key to the On position and wait for a response. Typically, you need to hold it for a few seconds until the light flashes and goes off before releasing. Button locations may vary across different model years, so consult the manual for confirmation. Don't skip this step as it helps prevent potential issues; if the reset fails, it could indicate an electrical problem or a faulty light itself. Timely engine maintenance ensures greater durability.

It's simple. To reset the maintenance light, do this: After parking and turning off the engine, hold down the reset button. Turn on the power without starting the engine, and release the button once the light changes. I've tried it many times, it's not difficult at all.
