How to Reset the Maintenance Reminder for X-Trail?

[SanPreston]

X-Trail maintenance reminder needs to be reset manually. If it fails to disappear, you can connect a diagnostic computer to reset it. The manual reset steps are as follows: 1. Operate the toggle button and the confirm button on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the maintenance interface, click the maintenance option, then click the "Engine Oil and Filter" option. 2. Select the reset option below the number, then adjust the number on the right to 5000 kilometers, and click confirm to reset. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Do not ignore the warnings issued by warning lights and warning messages. For safety reasons, you should drive to the side of the road and stop for inspection and repair. 2. The red warning light indicates a dangerous fault. Once it lights up or flashes, you must stop and turn off the engine immediately, and inspect and repair the relevant systems of the car. 3. The yellow warning light is used to prompt or warn the driver to immediately check the relevant functions or perform relevant operations.

Last time I managed to reset the maintenance reminder for my X-Trail myself. Here are the detailed steps: First, make sure the car is completely turned off, then press and hold the return button on the left side of the steering wheel without releasing it. Next, directly press the ignition button to start the engine. At this point, you'll notice a menu pop up on the dashboard. Quickly use the directional buttons to select the 'Engine Oil' option, press the confirmation button on the steering wheel, and then continue to hold it firmly for about 10 seconds until the warning light disappears. This method works for most models after 2017. If you have an older X-Trail without steering wheel buttons, try holding the small black stick on the dashboard and then powering on the vehicle. After completing the process, remember to drive for a while to ensure the next maintenance mileage is recalculated, so you don’t rush to the service shop for nothing. Always pay attention to dashboard alerts while driving, and regularly checking the engine oil is better than anything else.

I just reset the maintenance reminder for my X-Trail and want to share the experience: First, completely turn off the engine, open the door to get out, and then close the door to ensure the vehicle is fully powered off. Then get back in the car without pressing anything, hold down the arrow-marked return button on the steering wheel with your left hand, and press the one-touch start button directly with your right hand. Wait until all the dashboard lights come on, then immediately release the start button but keep holding the return button. After about three seconds, an option will pop up on the screen. Select 'ENGINE OIL', confirm, and continue holding for more than ten seconds. For the new X-Trail models, it might be easier to operate directly in the system settings. After completing the operation, remember to check if the tire pressure monitoring has been reset. Once, I accidentally pressed a button and triggered the tire pressure warning, but luckily I noticed it in time.

A veteran X-Trail owner shares a handy trick: Sit in the car without starting the engine, hold down the volume-down button and return button combination on the steering wheel for over five seconds, then power on to see if the warning disappears. This method fixed my friend's persistent issue with a 2016 X-Trail. Timing is crucial - release the buttons before all dashboard self-check lights go off. If it doesn't work, don't force it; let the dealership handle it with their diagnostic tool - it takes just two minutes and costs only a small service fee. Bonus tip: After resetting the maintenance reminder, each startup will show a new mileage countdown. If it displays negative numbers, it means last service info wasn't fully recorded and needs dealership attention. This feature is super helpful for forgetful owners.
