The method to reset the maintenance reminder on a Haval: 1. Turn off the ignition switch, press and hold the trip meter reset button on the instrument cluster; 2. Turn on the ignition switch, the odometer display will start counting down; 3. When the display shows 0000.0, release the button, and the maintenance reminder light on the display will turn off. Haval is a sub-brand of Great Wall Motors, which includes three vehicle series: H, M, and F. Taking the Haval F7 as an example, it is the second model in the F series under Haval. In terms of body dimensions, its length, width, and height are 4620mm, 1846mm, and 1690mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2725mm.

I've driven a Haval H6 for several years and always found the maintenance reminder annoying when it pops up. Actually, clearing it is quite simple. Usually, you just need to turn the ignition to the accessory position (without starting the engine), then press and hold the selection button on the instrument cluster. This will bring up the menu options where you can find the maintenance reset function and confirm. For some newer models, you might need to use the steering wheel buttons, like holding the OK button for about 10 seconds until the warning light goes off. Remember, this reminder is just prompting you to perform maintenance tasks like oil or filter changes – it's more reliable to reset it after actual service. I've encountered cases where the prompt remained after resetting, which was due to power supply issues from the battery. Try disconnecting the negative terminal for a few minutes then retry. Overall, don't lazily ignore it – a constantly lit warning affects driving mood, plus regular maintenance keeps the engine healthy and extends vehicle lifespan. Haval cars are generally easy to maintain, and spending a little time handling these details can prevent bigger troubles.

As a young car owner, I was totally confused when I first saw the maintenance reminder on my Haval M6. Later, I checked online and found it super simple: press the start button twice without stepping on the gas to light up the dashboard, then use the volume knob to enter the settings page, select the maintenance management option, and click reset. If it doesn’t work, try a few more times—each Haval model is designed a bit differently; for example, the H9 might require using the left and right steering wheel buttons to switch interfaces. Actually, this system is just a reminder that you should service your car every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Once reset, the warning light disappears and doesn’t affect driving. But I think after manually resetting it, you should visit the 4S shop or do a self-check early to avoid mechanical issues. Daily maintenance is crucial—like checking the oil level after the engine cools down—it saves money and keeps you safe.

Having worked in the auto shop for ten years, I've handled countless Haval maintenance reminders. The key is resetting the service code: first turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then locate and hold the odometer adjustment button on the dashboard for about 15 seconds until the screen shows the prompt is cleared. Different Haval models like Chulian or Dogo may have button positions vary, but the operation is basically similar. The principle is that the vehicle computer records the maintenance cycle and reminds when the counter is full, then recalculates after resetting. Be careful not to operate while driving to avoid accidentally pressing buttons—safety first. If the prompt stubbornly remains, check the ECU or consider a software update. This task is easily done by yourself, saving time and money from going to the shop, but don't forget the actual maintenance.
