Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, press the DISP button for 3 seconds, then release the button. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position again, and press and hold the DISP button for another 3 seconds. This will complete the maintenance mileage reset. Note that you do not need to start the engine. Insert the key and turn it forward once to reach the OFF position, and turn it forward once more to reach the ON position. Below is some relevant information: 1. The purpose of the maintenance light is to record the mileage of some important components, similar to a timer in a sprint race, serving as a reminder for the car owner and maintenance personnel. If the owner replaces the relevant components but does not reset the light, it will not affect the vehicle's performance, but it may cause trouble for the next replacement of car parts, as the exact usage time of the new components cannot be accurately known. 2. The first maintenance should not be delayed. It is best not to delay the first maintenance of the car because new cars go through a break-in period. During this period, the internal parts of the engine, through contact and friction, leave some fine metal shavings in the lubricant. Therefore, at the time of the first maintenance, the break-in oil and filter must be replaced to avoid causing greater damage to the car.
I remember resetting the maintenance mileage for the Changan CS15 was quite simple. Last time after my car had just been serviced, I did it myself. First, sit in the car and close the door, then turn the key to the ACC position—that's when the engine isn't running but the dashboard lights up. Next, locate the odometer reset button near the steering wheel, press and hold it for a few seconds until the setup menu appears, and you see the 'Maintenance' option highlighted. Use the directional buttons to select it and confirm the reset. The whole process takes less than a minute and requires no tools, making it easy even for beginners. After resetting the maintenance mileage, the wrench icon disappears, and you won't be bothered by annoying reminders until your next visit to the 4S shop. Regular maintenance is really crucial—it helps check engine fluids, tire wear, and more, extending your car's lifespan and improving fuel efficiency. Ignoring it could increase the risk of accidents. So, I recommend keeping a copy of the owner's manual handy, as it provides detailed steps for added assurance.
