2 Answers
To reset the maintenance light on the Buick Encore, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the power and press the menu button; 2. Use the scroll wheel to navigate to the oil life display on the dashboard; 3. Press and hold the setclr button for a few seconds to reset the oil life to 100%. Taking the 2020 Buick Encore as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4295mm, width 1798mm, height 1607mm, wheelbase 2570mm, fuel tank capacity 40l, trunk capacity 395l, minimum ground clearance 158mm, and curb weight 1245kg.
I've been driving my Encore for many years, and resetting the maintenance light is quite simple. Generally, first turn the key to the ON position, which is the second gear, but don't start the engine. Then locate the TRIP button or INFO key on the dashboard, hold it for a few seconds, and the screen menu will pop up. I use the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to scroll through the options, select Oil Life Reset or a similar maintenance reset option, confirm it, and the light will go off. I've tried this on both my 2015 and 2018 models, and it worked on the first try. If the light doesn't reset, it will keep flashing, which can be distracting while driving and may cause you to miss the next maintenance reminder, leading to deteriorated oil and affecting the engine's lifespan. So, I always reset it right after an oil change and also check the tire pressure and coolant. This little trick saves time and money, and making it a habit can prolong your car's health.
