Turn off the ignition switch. Press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously, then turn on the ignition switch. After about 3 seconds, release both arrow buttons. The maintenance menu will appear, asking if you want to reset.

I also encountered the issue of the maintenance light staying on when I first drove my 2020 MG6, and I figured out a solution myself. It's actually quite simple. First, make sure the car is parked in a safe place and turned off, then press and hold the reset button on the left side of the dashboard without releasing it. Next, start the engine while keeping the brake pedal pressed, and continue holding the button until the small wrench icon on the dashboard flashes for a few seconds and then disappears, indicating that the light has been reset. However, remember that this method isn't 100% applicable to all situations. If it doesn't work, you might need to visit a 4S shop to have it handled with a diagnostic computer. The maintenance light is just a reminder system, and tampering with it randomly might mess up other settings in the car, so after completing the reset, it's best to take a short test drive to ensure everything is normal. Usually, I recommend resetting it right after maintenance to avoid it affecting your mood while driving.

Here's a straightforward guide to resetting the maintenance light on a 2020 MG6. First, turn off the engine and park on level ground. Then, press and hold the reset button on the dashboard without releasing it. Next, start the ignition while keeping the button pressed for about 5 seconds until the maintenance light symbol flashes and eventually turns off. Be patient during the process—it normally takes a few seconds for the system to respond. Why reset the light? It's part of the vehicle's internal reminder system, alerting you when it's time for an oil change or inspection. If not reset after maintenance, the light may stay on and become a distraction. The procedure is simple but crucial: make sure to begin with the engine off to avoid triggering false error signals—it took me a few tries to get it right. Always consult the manual or a professional mechanic before attempting.

The maintenance light on the 2020 MG6 is an intelligent reminder feature that displays the remaining mileage or time until the next service every time you start the car. The reset procedure is straightforward: first, park the car and turn off the engine, then press and hold the dashboard settings button while starting the vehicle. Keep holding until the light turns off—this usually completes within 10 seconds, indicated by the light blinking before disappearing. However, improper operation (e.g., holding the button too long or attempting reset without turning off the engine) may cause system freeze, requiring a workshop scan for reset. Clearing the light means the reminder system is reset, but note this only disables the alert—it doesn’t replace actual maintenance. Regular servicing of core components remains essential for safe driving. This user-friendly operation enhances driving peace of mind.
