Last time I helped a friend reset the maintenance light on the Great Wall VV7, it was quite simple. First, you need to turn off the ignition switch, meaning the engine is completely off. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the steering wheel without releasing it, and turn the key to the ON position—remember not to start the car. At this point, the dashboard will display a flashing countdown prompt. Continue holding the button until the countdown ends, and the maintenance reminder light will turn off. Finally, turn off the power and restart the car to confirm if the reset was successful. I recommend checking the manual to confirm the button position before operating, as different model years may have variations in button placement. If you do it yourself, it takes about ten minutes, saving you a trip to the 4S dealership.
The VV7's maintenance reminder reset is essentially resetting the trip computer's counter. I've encountered novice car owners who directly pulled out the fuse—that's really unnecessary. The correct method is to hold down the rotary knob button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel for 10 seconds after powering off, then power on again and release when the dashboard flashes. After resetting, the system defaults to reminding for the next maintenance at 5,000 kilometers. If you frequently drive on highways, you can have the dealership adjust the maintenance interval later. Remember not to rush driving after the reset; check if indicators like the tire pressure monitoring system are functioning properly.
