My 2011 Lavida also had the maintenance light issue, and I've personally dealt with it several times. After turning off the engine, press and hold the SET button on the dashboard without releasing it, then turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine. Hold for a few seconds, and you'll see the maintenance indicator light flash until it goes off. At this point, release the button. Sometimes it may take a few attempts or checking if the button contact is good. If there's no response, it might be due to system lag or low battery voltage. It's advisable to charge the battery first or try restarting the key. The maintenance light usually comes on to remind you to change the oil or perform routine checks. Never ignore it, as it could lead to car problems. After resetting it last time, I went to the 4S shop for a comprehensive maintenance service, which made the engine run much smoother and extended its lifespan, saving money and giving peace of mind.
