2 Answers
To reset the maintenance reminder in a car, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the car's ignition, then press and hold the 00SET button on the right side of the dashboard with your left hand; 2. While holding the SET button, turn on the ignition, then release the SET button and press it once more; 3. Turn off the ignition and then turn it back on to complete the process. Car maintenance refers to the process of using specialized care materials and products tailored to the different materials of various vehicle components, providing comprehensive care for the car. This includes maintenance for the engine, transmission, chassis, cooling system, fuel system, and more.
Every time the maintenance reminder light comes on, I first check the car's recent service records to ensure all required maintenance has been performed. Then I refer to the owner's manual to find the specific reset procedure. Most vehicles have simple dashboard button combinations—for example, in Toyotas, you turn off the ignition, hold the settings button, switch to ON position, and wait a few seconds for the light to reset. Hyundai models may require using steering wheel buttons to access the menu and clear the record. If you can't recall the steps, searching online for video tutorials specific to your car model is more intuitive, but avoid randomly pressing buttons forcefully to prevent system damage. The maintenance reminder is part of the car's smart system; resetting it regularly ensures accurate alerts for the next service, which is crucial for extending engine life. I recommend developing the habit of resetting it immediately after each maintenance to keep the car in optimal condition and avoid future issues.
