How to reset the maintenance reminder for Fiat Viaggio?
2 Answers
The solution to reset the maintenance light for Fiat Viaggio is as follows: 1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, press and hold the button on the left side of the instrument panel. 2. Turn the ignition switch ON until the maintenance display is completed, then turn the ignition switch OFF. Below is additional information about maintenance reset: 1. Modern vehicles' onboard computers have maintenance mileage reminders. If maintenance is not performed when the mileage is reached, the maintenance light will illuminate. After maintenance is done, the service station will reset the maintenance light to start recording the driving mileage until the next maintenance interval. If you perform maintenance yourself instead of going to a service station, you can also reset the maintenance light by following the instructions in the manual. If not reset, the maintenance mileage cannot be recorded. 2. The purpose of these lights is to record the usage mileage of important components, similar to a timer in a sprint race, serving as a reminder for both the car owner and maintenance personnel. 3. If the owner replaces related parts but does not reset the maintenance light, it will not affect the vehicle's performance, but it may cause inconvenience for future part replacements: it will be difficult to accurately know the usage time of the new parts. After each maintenance, the previous records need to be cleared and reset to start a new calculation.
I remember my Fiat Viaggio has been with me for over five years, and resetting the maintenance reminder light is a regular task. After sitting in the driver's seat, insert the key and turn it to the ON position—meaning the dashboard lights up but the engine remains silent. Then locate the ODO button on the steering wheel instrument panel, usually a small protrusion labeled TRIP, and hold it down for about 5 to 10 seconds without releasing. You'll see the wrench icon on the dashboard flash or turn off, indicating the reset is complete. Make sure to perform this right after maintenance; otherwise, the system might miscalculate the next reminder time. From my experience, if it doesn’t respond the first time, wait a few minutes and try again or check if the button is stuck. Don’t skip this step—it saves frequent trips to the repair shop and extends the car’s lifespan, especially since the Fiat Viaggio’s maintenance intervals are quite accurately designed.
