2 Answers
BYD Qin plug-in hybrid maintenance light reset method is performed through the steering wheel buttons on the instrument display screen. The specific operation steps are: 1. Press the ignition switch KEY OFF, press and hold the trip reset button below the speedometer; 2. While holding the ignition switch KEY ON, continue pressing the trip reset button for more than 10 seconds until ellipsis appears on the screen. The BYD Qin is a high-performance sedan under BYD, with dimensions of 4740mm in length, 1770mm in width, 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. In terms of configuration, the BYD Qin is equipped with features such as power-adjustable front seats, ACC adaptive cruise control, keyless entry, one-button start, electronic parking brake, and power sunroof.
Last time I dealt with the maintenance light reset for the BYD Qin hybrid, I used the small button on the steering wheel: turn off the car key, hold down the mileage reset button, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and keep holding for about 10 seconds until the light goes off. This operation is quite simple, I've tried it several times myself without going to the 4S shop. Actually, the flashing maintenance light is a reminder that it's time to change the oil or check the brakes, especially for hybrids where the oil-electric system switches frequently and parts wear out faster. It's recommended to service every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Ignoring it may lead to increased fuel consumption or affect battery life, so it's best to check as soon as possible after resetting. I make it a habit to record the time and mileage after each reset for future reference.
