Turn off the ignition switch, then press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously while turning on the ignition switch. Reasons for the Baojun Maintenance Light to Illuminate: The illumination of the maintenance light indicates that the vehicle's scheduled maintenance period has arrived, and timely maintenance is required. Not all vehicle models can be manually reset; some models require specialized equipment from the manufacturer to clear the code. Function of the Baojun Maintenance Light: It records the mileage usage of some important components, much like a timer in a sprint race. It not only reminds the vehicle owner but also facilitates automotive maintenance personnel in observing the vehicle. They will reset the maintenance light after performing the maintenance service.
I dread nothing more than seeing the maintenance light come on, but resetting it on the New Baojun RC6 isn't too tricky. As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, here's my method: First, turn the key to the OFF position to cut all power to the car. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ON position, where all dashboard lights illuminate but the engine doesn't start. Keep the button pressed, usually for about 5 to 10 seconds, and the maintenance light will either flash or go out. Release the button, turn off the key, and then start the car to check if the light has turned off. If there's no response, it might be due to differences in the model year. For New Baojun models after 2019, some require an OBD diagnostic tool to reset the light, in which case it's best to visit a repair shop. Always remember to perform regular maintenance; don't wait for the light to come on too frequently. Timely oil and filter changes can extend your engine's life. Safety comes first when driving, so never attempt this while the car is moving to avoid distractions and potential accidents.
I'm Xiao Zhang, I bought an RC6 last year and have tried resetting the maintenance light several times. The steps are quite simple: Park the car and turn off the engine, then remove the key. Press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard (the one used to adjust the odometer), don't let go. Reinsert the key and turn it to the ON position, wait until all the dashboard lights come on, then wait for about 6-8 seconds until the maintenance light automatically turns off. At this point, release the button, turn off the key, and restart to test. If it still doesn't work, check the user manual or ask the 4S shop—usually, the manual has detailed instructions in the maintenance section. I recommend having the technician reset it after each maintenance service to save yourself the hassle. Developing good habits can prevent small issues from accumulating into major repairs. Car maintenance intervals vary from person to person; if you drive frequently in the city, you should shorten the cycle.
