How to reset the maintenance reminder for Nissan X-Trail?
2 Answers
Locate the maintenance light reset button on the vehicle's dashboard and hold it down to clear the reminder. More details about the X-Trail are as follows: 1. Exterior design: The new X-Trail inherits the exterior design of the previous generation, with the basic lines following a square and powerful style. It is equipped with a newly developed Nissan intelligent four-wheel drive system. 2. Configuration: This four-wheel drive system has three modes: the two-wheel drive mode can effectively reduce fuel consumption during daily driving. In the automatic four-wheel drive mode, the system will automatically monitor the throttle pedal angle, engine speed, and torque output. When wheel slippage is detected, it will automatically distribute power to the wheels that need torque. This mode can be used on poor road surfaces, significantly improving the vehicle's active safety and handling. The X-Trail is the latest model in its series.
I've handled the Nissan X-Trail maintenance reminder myself several times. The steps are quite simple but require patience. First, make sure the car is parked in a safe place with the engine completely off, only turning the key to the power-on position where the dashboard lights up but the engine isn't started. Then, locate the TRIP or ODO button on the dashboard—the one used to adjust the mileage display—and hold it down continuously without releasing for about 10 to 15 seconds. You'll see the maintenance light start flashing or turn off directly, at which point you can let go. Next, start the engine and confirm the reminder has disappeared. If it's still on, the timing might be off, or the battery could be low; it's advisable to check the owner's manual for specific model instructions as button locations might vary across different X-Trail model years. Doing it manually is quick and easy, but remember, the maintenance reminder is there to protect your car—after clearing the light, make sure to schedule a service promptly. If you're unsure, just drive to a professional repair shop where it can be done in minutes at a low cost. Safety first—don't take unnecessary risks.
