I've been driving this 2016 H6 for several years, and the maintenance light reset procedure is quite simple. First, park the car and turn off the engine, then locate the TRIP button at the lower left corner of the instrument panel and press it firmly with your thumb without releasing. Next, turn the key to the ACC position (where all dashboard lights illuminate but the engine doesn't start). At this point, I keep my eyes on the small wrench icon, waiting for it to flash a few times before disappearing – usually holding for about 5-6 seconds does the trick. After resetting, the maintenance cycle begins anew, preventing annoying reminders while driving. I perform this reset after every oil change to maintain accurate service records. If the light doesn't respond, check whether the button is dirty or has poor contact – just clean it or try a few more times. This manual method saves time and effort, avoiding unnecessary dealership costs. Remember to ensure safety during operation by keeping the vehicle stationary.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I'm very familiar with resetting the maintenance light. For the 2016 H6 model, the steps are: Turn off the engine and ensure the vehicle is in park, then press and hold the TRIP reset button on the instrument panel. Turn the key to position two to power up the instrument cluster, keeping the button pressed for about 5-8 seconds. The wrench icon will flash and then disappear, indicating success. The principle is to reset the mileage counter, reminding you to start accumulating from zero. If it fails, it might be due to a worn-out button or system malfunction—simple cleaning or replacing small components should fix it. Before performing the operation, ensure the battery is stable to avoid unnecessary errors. Regular maintenance every 5,000 kilometers, followed by resetting, helps accurately track intervals and extends the vehicle's lifespan.
Just learned how to reset the maintenance light, let me share: It's quite simple on the 2016 H6. First, turn off and park the car without starting the engine. Locate the odometer button on the instrument panel and hold it down. Then turn the key to illuminate the instrument panel lights. Wait a few seconds until the wrench light goes off before releasing. I followed the manual and it usually takes about half a minute. After resetting, the reminder starts fresh, making driving more pleasant. I recommend doing this routinely after maintenance, don't ignore it.
