How to Reset the Maintenance Reminder on an Older Lavida?
2 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance reminder on an older Lavida is as follows: 1. First, turn the key to the OFF position, then press and hold the maintenance reset button. While holding the button, turn the key to the ON position and wait for the dashboard lights to illuminate briefly. 2. The maintenance cycle indicator should then display normally. Turn the key off and back on to test if the reset was successful. If not, repeat the process. 3. Additional Information: Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing.
As a long-time Lavida owner, I've manually reset the maintenance reminder several times myself. Here's how: First, turn the key to the ignition-on position (don't start the engine). Then locate the small button on the right side of the instrument cluster - press and hold it firmly. While keeping the button pressed, turn the key back to the off position. Still holding the button, turn the ignition on again. You'll see the maintenance light start flashing until it disappears with a beep. Remember: 1) Operate in self-check mode 2) Apply even pressure when pressing the button 3) The whole process takes about 20 seconds. This method works for pre-2013 models with manual buttons. After your next service, have the technician properly adjust the reminder mileage.
