How to reset the maintenance light on the Alivio?

[MacJade]

Steps to reset the maintenance light on the Alivio: 1. First, insert the vehicle key and start the car. 2. Press the button on the right side of the instrument panel, and the maintenance light will start blinking. 3. Press the button on the left side of the dashboard until you hear a beep sound. Here are some additional details: 1. Not all vehicles have a maintenance light function. For vehicles equipped with this feature, the manufacturer sets a specific mileage threshold during production, and the "wrench" symbol will appear once this threshold is reached. 2. Resetting the maintenance light means clearing the reminder information after servicing, essentially performing a reset or information refresh.

As a long-time Suzuki owner, I've personally tried this procedure several times. After starting the car but before driving, locate and hold the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel. With your other hand, turn the key to the ON position (without ignition). Wait for the odometer on the dashboard to count down 10 seconds until the wrench icon flashes a few times and disappears - that means it's done. If there's no response, try repeating the procedure or disconnecting the negative battery terminal for one minute. Remember to verify proper oil level after resetting - the reset only clears the reminder function, you still need to perform maintenance on schedule.

After the last maintenance, the mechanic forgot to reset the warning light. Here's the method I figured out: Turn off the engine, press and hold the small button on the lower right corner of the dashboard (don't release it), turn the key to the ignition position (all dashboard lights on but engine not started), and hold for about 15 seconds. Note that button locations may vary by model year - for 2012 models, it's next to the speedometer. If you can't find the button, try disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery to reset, but this may affect radio memory. The safest way is to visit a dealership and have them reset it with a diagnostic computer, while also checking for any trouble codes.

6 Years of Suzuki Ownership Experience Summary: 1. Power on without ignition 2. Long press the round button on the left side of the instrument panel 3. Observe the maintenance reminder light flashing 4. Release only after it completely turns off. For facelift models, steering wheel button operation may be required, such as simultaneously pressing the OK button + return button. Some vehicles can be reset by disconnecting the battery but may trigger the anti-theft lock, so the button method is recommended as priority. After resetting the maintenance light, remember to test whether the lighting system is functioning normally.

I've learned my lesson with the maintenance light. Here are the steps directly: Turn off the engine, press and hold the trip meter reset button, turn the key to the second position (instrument panel self-check mode), maintain for more than 10 seconds until the indicator light dims or goes out. Pay attention to voltage stability during operation, as a weak battery may cause failure. Japanese cars generally use this mechanical reset method, which is much simpler than German cars. Resetting the light after the maintenance is overdue may affect the engine warranty, so it's best to do it at a 4S shop to keep a record.
