How to reset the maintenance reminder light on Haval H4?
3 Answers
Turn on the ignition switch to power the vehicle while keeping the engine off. Press and hold the reset button "A" while stepping on the brake pedal. Turn the ignition switch to "on" without starting the car. The characters "INSP" will flash or the display will blink. Continue holding the reset button "A" until "..." appears on the display. Release the reset button "A", release the brake pedal, and turn the ignition switch back to "Off" position.
I remember when dealing with the Haval H4 maintenance reminder light, you first need to make sure the key is turned to the ON position without starting the engine. Then, focus on the dashboard to locate the small wrench icon, usually by holding down the TRIP button on the steering wheel for 5 to 10 seconds. It will blink a few times and then turn off. This process requires patience, as pressing too long sometimes doesn't help. The main purpose is to remind us to change the oil or check the brakes—don't delay, or the car might develop minor issues. I recommend resetting it right after each maintenance as a habit, which can save a lot of hassle. If you're a novice and can't figure it out, it's best to check the manual or ask for help rather than forcing it. In short, just like people, cars need regular maintenance to run smoothly in the long term.
Having played with cars for so many years, I've helped friends clear this light several times. For the Haval H4, generally you just need to turn the key to the ignition position (without starting the engine), then hold down the TRIP button until the light goes off. Some models use steering wheel control buttons instead, and I've found little difference between various model years. Remember to first check the dipstick to confirm proper oil change and avoid false alarms. Using mobile apps like Car Manager to check tutorials is convenient, and there are plenty of demonstration videos on YouTube. The maintenance reminder is actually an intelligent design - it reminds us not to neglect maintenance and helps extend engine life. Don't wait until the light comes on to panic; paying regular attention to your car's condition is much safer.
