How to reset the maintenance reminder on Haval H6?

[OEverly]

Haval H6 maintenance reminder reset steps: Turn off the ignition, press and hold the button at the lower right of the dashboard; Turn the ignition to the position where all dashboard lights are on, and you will notice the small wrench icon on the dashboard stops flashing; Release the button, then press the button at the lower left of the dashboard, and you will see the small wrench icon disappear, indicating the reset is complete. Maintenance precautions are as follows: 1. Air conditioning maintenance is an aspect that cannot be overlooked and is frequently used. The car's air conditioning evaporator and fan are in a closed state for a long time, and due to the relatively high internal temperature, the overall environment is quite humid. During car maintenance, it is necessary to regularly clean the car's air conditioning system. Whether using the disassembly cleaning method or the steam cleaning method, it is essential to ensure the air conditioning is thoroughly cleaned during maintenance. 2. Engine oil plays a crucial role in lubrication, cooling, and other functions, and is vital for the normal operation of the car's engine. However, this does not mean that adding more engine oil is better. Adding too much engine oil can easily lead to adverse conditions such as oil burning, which is counterproductive. In fact, the standard for adding engine oil is based on the oil dipstick; the oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick when measuring.

I bought the Haval H6 3rd Gen last year, and resetting the maintenance reminder is really convenient. After the vehicle is completely shut off, don't press the brake pedal and press the start button twice to power on. There's a small scroll wheel and a return button on the right side of the steering wheel. Press and hold the scroll wheel for 5 seconds to enter the engineering menu. Use the scroll wheel to scroll down and find the maintenance option under 'Vehicle Information,' then select reset and you're done. Older models without an LCD screen require using the physical buttons on the instrument panel—probably holding the mileage button until the maintenance info appears before releasing. Different model years indeed have variations in the operation interface; when in doubt, checking the manual in the glove box is the safest bet. The first time I tried it, I didn't have the patience to press long enough and ended up wasting a lot of time. After resetting the light, remember to service it on time next time—this feature of the onboard computer is actually quite thoughtful.

I've encountered this issue three or four times, and the operation for the Haval H6 series is largely similar. The key is to distinguish the model year. For my 2020 model, you need to power on the vehicle, then press and hold the small pillar button at the bottom left of the dashboard. When the maintenance prompt appears on the display, keep holding it until it flashes for a few seconds, and then it resets. My friend's newer H6 model can directly access the menu settings through the multifunction area on the left side of the steering wheel. Two important notes: the operation must be done with the engine off—the menu is locked when the engine is running. Also, make sure you've actually done the maintenance before resetting, don't just do it to turn off the light out of laziness. The newer models even allow you to schedule the next maintenance date in the infotainment system, which is much more advanced than the older versions. If you really can't remember the steps, most auto repair shop technicians can help you get it done in 30 seconds.

The specific operation depends on the vehicle configuration: For the new H6 with a digital instrument cluster, start the vehicle, use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to bring up the menu, locate the maintenance option in the vehicle settings, and reset it. For older models with mechanical instrument clusters, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then quickly press the instrument cluster button three times to enter engineering mode for adjustment. Avoid pressing the accelerator during the entire process to prevent accidental activation. If you can't locate the button, refer to Chapter 7 (Electronic Systems) in the owner's manual. The maintenance light is essentially a timer; clearing it won't affect driving, but prolonged neglect of maintenance can harm the vehicle. Third-party diagnostic tools can also clear it, but this is unnecessary.

The core principle is actually resetting the maintenance timer of the vehicle's onboard computer. Last year, I helped my cousin with his 2018 Haval H6 by following these steps: completely turn off the vehicle, rotate the key to the ACC position (dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start), immediately press and hold the 0.0 button on the right side of the dashboard. When the maintenance mileage starts flashing on the screen, release the button and quickly press it once to confirm. The newer models with the ZhiLian system are even simpler—just find the 'System Settings' maintenance menu on the central display and click reset. Nowadays, some repair shops use a computer to clear the code for convenience, but the physical buttons designed by the manufacturer are actually the most reliable. Remember to engage the handbrake before operating to ensure safety.

The procedure varies slightly across different model years but follows the same principle. Taking my 2019 model as an example: Close the door without pressing the brake pedal, then press the ignition button twice to power up the vehicle. Immediately use your left hand to long-press the function button with the letter "i" on the steering wheel until the hidden menu appears on the instrument cluster. Then, use the right-hand scroll wheel to select the wrench icon for maintenance items and confirm the reset. The newer third-generation infotainment system even supports voice control for some menu functions. Note that on certain models, the warning light may take about ten seconds to turn off after resetting. By the way, resetting the maintenance light doesn't affect your warranty, and it's perfectly fine to do it yourself. If you encounter difficulties, dealership service departments are usually happy to provide on-site guidance.
