Speaking of resetting the maintenance light for the 11th-gen Lavida, I've done it myself a few times, and it's quite simple. Turn off the ignition switch, make sure the car is completely off, then press and hold the "0.0" button on the dashboard. Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, allowing the dashboard lights to illuminate. Wait about 5 to 10 seconds until you see the maintenance indicator light blink or go off, then you can release the button. This counts as a successful reset, prompting the system to recalculate the time. The key is to reset it immediately after maintenance, such as after an oil or filter change, to prevent the light from staying on and distracting you while driving. If it doesn’t work, it might be due to the button not being pressed correctly or slight model variations. I recommend checking the owner’s manual or asking a friend for help instead of randomly trying and wasting time. For regular maintenance, remember to check fluid levels on schedule—this car’s maintenance cycle is roughly every 7,500 kilometers.
Resetting the maintenance light is a routine task for me. After turning off the engine, press and hold the reset button on the dashboard—usually marked with "0.0". Then turn the key to the ACC or ON position, keep pressing as soon as the dashboard lights up, wait a few seconds for the indicator light to change, and then release. The whole process takes just a minute, with the key being to reset it after maintenance to ensure accurate reminders. If the reset fails, it might be due to unfamiliarity with the button location or the need for recalibration—never force the button to avoid damaging components. I always perform this operation when changing the oil—it's convenient and efficient. Developing this habit can extend the engine's lifespan and reduce repair costs. Additionally, regularly checking the vehicle manual is a good precaution—safety first for peace of mind on the road.
