To reset the vehicle maintenance light, first start the vehicle to illuminate the instrument panel. After starting the vehicle, the maintenance indicator will appear on the instrument panel. Turn off the ignition switch; with the engine off, press and hold the short-distance counter reset button located below the tachometer. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then release the short-distance counter reset button. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right. Turn off the engine to reset the reminder message. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and the "SERVICE" indicator will disappear.
Last time my Haoyue's maintenance light came on, I tried resetting it and it went pretty smoothly. First, make sure the car is parked and the key is removed. Sit in the driver's seat, locate the dashboard near the steering wheel, where there's a small button, usually labeled 'trip' or 'reset'. Press and hold it, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Keep holding for a few seconds, and the maintenance light will flash and then go off. Remember, you might need to try this once or twice. If there's no response, check if the battery voltage is stable, otherwise the system might malfunction. After resetting, the light won't bother you anymore, saving unnecessary trouble. The maintenance light reminds us to change the oil and filter regularly—don't ignore it, as it affects the engine's lifespan. Delaying maintenance too long can cause parts to wear out faster. I recommend checking every 5,000 kilometers or so to develop good habits, making the car more durable and safer.
As a hands-on person, I always prefer to handle these minor issues myself. Resetting the maintenance light on the Haoyue is quite simple: First, turn off the engine, sit properly, locate the reset button on the right side of the dashboard, and hold it firmly without releasing. Then, turn the key to the accessory position (don't start the engine), wait a few seconds, and the light will automatically go off. If it remains lit, it might be due to operating too quickly or not pressing the button firmly enough—just try once more. By the way, always pay attention to the dashboard status; when the light comes on, it's a reminder for maintenance—don't slack off. Delaying oil changes can lead to louder engine noise and increased fuel consumption. Resetting is just a temporary fix; proper maintenance should still be done at a reliable shop. After each DIY session, I keep a log to track intervals—this habit helps maintain the car in optimal condition.
Electronic system reset requires attention to detail. After removing the key, press and hold the reset button on the dashboard, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and maintain for about 5 seconds until the light goes out. Stay focused during the process and ensure good button contact. If unsuccessful, it might be due to loose wiring harness or module failure; checking voltage is recommended, and charging is needed if it's too low. The maintenance light reminds you of regular servicing; not resetting it in time will cause it to stay on, interfering with judgment. Refer to the manual for maintenance intervals, typically every 10,000 kilometers, to prevent bigger issues.
