2 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance reminder on the Lavida is: 1. Press and hold the protruding button on the instrument panel, then turn on the ignition switch; 2. Release the instrument panel button, then press and hold the minute adjustment button on the time adjustment knob; 3. Turn off the ignition switch, then release the minute button; 4. Restart the ignition switch to complete the process. The Lavida is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving my Lavida for a while and I'm quite familiar with resetting the maintenance reminder. Generally, you need to find the right moment to do this. First, park the car on a level surface, turn off the engine but keep the key in the ignition. Then press and hold the reset button on the right side of the instrument panel without releasing it. At this point, turn the key to the second position (where all dashboard lights are on but the engine isn't started). Keep holding the button for about 10 seconds, and you'll see a wrench icon or maintenance reminder message (in English or Chinese) appear on the display, which will disappear after a few seconds. Release the button, turn off the ignition and restart the car. If the warning light doesn't come on, you've succeeded. If you're unsure, you can check the maintenance interval in the settings menu to confirm it's been reset. The button position might vary slightly in different model years of Lavida, so I recommend checking the owner's manual to confirm its location. Remember to always perform this operation after turning off the engine to avoid affecting the electrical system.
