Great Wall Florid maintenance light reset method: 1. Use an automotive computer diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light; 2. Manual reset method: Press and hold the reset button A while stepping on the brake, turn the ignition switch to ON, until the display screen enters the setup menu, then select the oil life reset option. The Great Wall Florid is a five-seat family car independently developed by Great Wall Motors. The car's dimensions are 3907mm in length, 1694mm in width, and 1521mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2368mm. In terms of appearance, the front face design of the Great Wall Florid is quite distinctive, featuring an integrated U-shaped dynamic styling, with a waterfall-style grille blended into the overall bumper, and the slightly raised nose adorned with a shiny new Great Wall emblem.

Last time I took my Great Wall Voleex for maintenance, I encountered this issue. The little wrench light on the dashboard was lit when I started the car, which was quite annoying. Actually, the reset method is very simple: First, turn off the engine, then use your left hand to press and hold the TRIP button below the steering wheel without releasing it. At this point, start the vehicle but don’t press the accelerator to ignite. Attention! Wait until the dashboard displays the self-check screen, then continue holding for about 5 seconds until the wrench light disappears—that means it’s successful. I had to try twice to get it right; the first time I pressed too lightly and nothing happened. You need to press firmly until the button is completely depressed, and it’s best if you feel a ‘click’ sound. Remember to turn the key to the ON position only, don’t start the engine, or else it’s a wasted effort. This method applies to the old Voleex models; newer ones might require a diagnostic computer to reset.

The key to resetting the maintenance light on the Great Wall Florid lies in the button sequence. For my 2010 1.3L manual model, here's the procedure: After turning off the engine, first confirm the key is in the LOCK position. Then press and hold the trip meter switch at the lower right corner of the instrument panel with your left thumb while turning the key to the ON position (all dashboard lights on but engine not running) with your right hand. Maintain pressure for 7-10 seconds during this process until the small wrench icon on the far right flashes three times and disappears. When teaching my neighbor, I noticed the most common mistake is pressure application - you need to press the button's center point with your knuckle, as using a flat finger tends to cause slipping. If unsuccessful after two attempts, don't force it; it might indicate a bulb malfunction requiring a visit to the repair shop.

The maintenance light reset for the Brilliance requires a two-step operation. Open the driver's door and sit inside, then close all doors securely. Turn the ignition to the position where the dashboard lights up. Now firmly press and hold the trip reset button with your index finger, located at the bottom left corner of the tachometer. Count to eight silently before releasing, and the warning light will turn off. Last time I did this, I noticed it's easier to operate in summer than winter, possibly due to thermal expansion of plastic parts. Special reminder for those with modified steering wheels: this car cannot be reset via steering wheel buttons; you must use the original dashboard buttons. For those who just bought a used car, remember to check the fuse first—if it's blown, pressing the button won't work.

Press and hold the ODO/TRIP button to reset it. I've driven my Florid for six years and reset it over a dozen times. My experience is: wait 30 seconds after turning off the engine to let the computer go into sleep mode. Here's the key step—use one hand to simultaneously press the mileage toggle button and the adjacent backlight adjustment button, while using the other hand to turn the key to the second position. Release the buttons when the dashboard backlight dims and then brightens again, and the maintenance light will automatically turn off. This two-button method is more reliable, as the single-button approach often fails. The best time to perform this operation is in the morning when the engine is cold, as the battery voltage is more stable. Make sure the hood is securely closed, otherwise the anti-theft light may interfere with the process. If it still doesn't work, disconnect the battery for three minutes to let the system reboot and initialize.
