First, use the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to select the oil life in the driver information center. Then, press and hold the selection button 'sel' for a few seconds to reset the maintenance information, setting the engine oil life back to 100%. This completes the maintenance reset operation. Below is additional information: Maintenance Light: The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to alert the vehicle owner to perform maintenance at certain mileage or time intervals. It appears in the form of a dashboard or screen message or indicator light. Resetting the maintenance light means clearing the reminder information after maintenance is completed, effectively resetting the information.

As a seasoned driver, here's a universal method: Start the engine, shift to P gear, and repeatedly press the downward arrow on the right side of the steering wheel until the dashboard displays the 'Oil Life' percentage. Then, hold the triangular arrow button for 10 seconds until the screen shows 'Reset?' and release. Use the up and down arrows to select 'Confirm,' wait for 5 seconds, and it's done. For some models, you need to press the accelerator pedal firmly three times, then press the ignition button twice, and wait until all dashboard lights finish flashing. If the reset fails, you'll need to enter the engineering mode by holding the menu button for 30 seconds without releasing until the English menu appears. Resetting older Cadillac models is that hardcore—experienced drivers can do it in 3 minutes, but beginners are advised to check the manual and avoid random button presses.

Last time at the 4S dealership, I learned a button combination method: Start the car without pressing the brake, press the ignition button twice, then immediately press the accelerator pedal to the floor three times. Don't release your foot! Then quickly turn the headlights on and off five times. When you see the wrench icon flash, the reset is successful. This method works particularly well for pre-2016 ATS/XTS models. For vehicles with mechanical instrument clusters, simply locate the 'INFO' button on the steering wheel, switch to the maintenance page, and long-press the √ button. Remember to turn off and restart the car to check the results. If it doesn't work, go to the central control settings to find the vehicle maintenance option for a reset. Tire pressure calibration and headlight height adjustment are also on this page, so it's a good idea to check them while you're at it.

New owners, pay attention: The touchscreen version is the simplest! After ignition, locate the 'Settings' gear icon on the central console, enter 'Vehicle,' and select 'Oil Life.' Be quick when clicking reset, as the system will pop up a secondary confirmation window. Some models may require entering a four-digit PIN code (default 0000) after resetting—owners who changed the password need to check their notes. For models with Super Cruise, a road test is recommended after resetting to calibrate the system. The digital instrument cluster version allows direct voice command: 'Hello Cadillac, reset maintenance reminder,' with a recognition success rate of about 70%. Remember to regularly check the air filter—a dirty one can harm your car more than expired oil.
