The method to reset the maintenance light on the Fengjun 5 is as follows: 1. The maintenance light reset method is to use the universal special diagnostic tool TECH2 for reset. 2. The maintenance light reset method is to manually reset using the button on the right side of the dashboard. The specific steps are as follows: (1) Turn off the ignition switch. (2) Press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously, then turn on the ignition switch. (3) Release both arrow buttons after about 3 seconds. (4) The maintenance menu will appear, asking if you want to reset. (5) Press and hold the SET (reset) button for more than 3 seconds. (6) Press the MODE button. (7) Turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset.

When the maintenance light came on in my Great Wall Wingle 5 before, I reset it myself. First, turn off the engine, then press and hold the TRIP button on the instrument panel without releasing it. Next, press the start button to power on the vehicle (but don't press the brake to start the engine). While continuing to hold the TRIP button for about 10 seconds, you'll see the wrench icon flash a few times before disappearing. Release the button, turn off the power, wait a few seconds, and restart the vehicle - that's all it takes. This method works for the newer Wingle 5 models; for older versions, the button location might differ, so check around the steering wheel for a small button labeled 'mileage reset' before proceeding. If you've tried two or three times without success, it's likely the wrong button - don't force it, just visit a 4S shop to have the code cleared with their diagnostic tool for safety. Remember to get the oil changed when the next maintenance interval comes around, don't just reset the light and call it done.

As an experienced driver who has owned three pickup trucks, let me share some tips: Manually resetting the maintenance light on a Great Wall Wingle 5 is actually quite simple. First, completely turn off the vehicle and locate the mileage toggle button on the dashboard (the TRIP button that switches between total mileage and trip mileage). Press and hold it firmly with your finger. Then, press the start button to power on the dashboard (but don't start the engine). Keep your eyes on the dashboard while holding the button for about 5-8 seconds, and that annoying wrench symbol will disappear. Release the button and turn off the power, and you're done. However, note that some model years of the Wingle 5 require pressing two buttons simultaneously. If manual reset doesn't work, don't panic—it just means the vehicle's computer has different settings. You can spend 20 yuan to have a repair shop clear it with an OBD device. The key is to make sure the vehicle has actually undergone maintenance. Otherwise, clearing the light without changing the oil will only hurt you in the long run.

I bought this Fengjun 5 last year and have reset the maintenance light twice. The key operation lies in the button position: After turning off the engine, hold down the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel without releasing, then press the start button to power on (do not ignite), and watch the small wrench icon on the dashboard. It will flash a few times and then go off. The whole process takes about ten seconds. You might feel nervous during the first attempt, but you'll get the hang of it after trying a couple more times. Remember to perform this operation right after maintenance is done, otherwise, you might forget to change the oil filter after the light is reset, which could be troublesome. The operation is basically the same for the new Fengjun 5 models. If you really can't figure it out, just check the user manual in the glove box—it has illustrated steps.

The method to reset the maintenance light on the Fengjun 5 depends on the model year. The mainstream approach is to press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard after turning off the engine, then continue holding for 15 seconds after powering on until the indicator light disappears. However, note three key points: 1) For pre-2015 older models, you may need to turn on the ignition first before operating; 2) Some high-end versions with multi-function steering wheels require holding the right directional button; 3) Avoid pressing the button too hard to prevent damaging the plastic keys. It's recommended to lower the windows before operation for easier observation of dashboard changes. If unsuccessful after three attempts, it's likely the system requires professional clearing mode – in such cases, directly contact a 4S dealership to resolve it with a diagnostic tool for guaranteed results, avoiding unnecessary troubleshooting and potential error codes.

Just finished resetting the maintenance light on my family's Fengjun 5, sharing some practical tips. Key steps to remember: turn off the engine, press the button, power on, and hold the button. Differences to note: diesel versions require holding the button 3-4 seconds longer than gasoline versions; if the dashboard has been modified, button location may vary; in winter, wait for the dashboard to fully illuminate before starting the count. I recommend doing this during daylight for better visibility of dashboard changes. If the maintenance light stays on after the reset, it might be because the repair shop didn’t reset the system during the last service. In this case, avoid repeated attempts—just drive back to the service shop for them to handle it, and have them check the oil level while you’re at it for extra peace of mind.
