The method to reset the maintenance warning light on a Mistra: 1. Turn the vehicle power to ON mode; 2. The dashboard will display the maintenance message for a few seconds; 3. Press and hold the OK button for more than one second to reset the maintenance light. The Mistra is a mid-to-high-end sedan from Beijing Hyundai, with body dimensions of 4710mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2770mm. In terms of exterior design, the Mistra further enhances the Fluidic Sculpture design language, featuring a wide shield-shaped grille with horizontal bars, a smoked black base paired with lenses and white light strips. For powertrain, the Mistra is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0L G4NA engine, matched with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I remember just helping my sister reset the maintenance light on her Mistra last month. After starting the car, don't press the brake pedal - just press the start button to power on. On the right side of the steering wheel, there are several buttons. Find and hold the menu button for three seconds until the maintenance reset pops up. Use the directional buttons to select the oil life option, then press and hold the OK button for about five seconds to clear it. Be especially careful that the car is completely stationary when performing this operation. If it still doesn't work, turn off the engine and try again after powering on a few more times. This light actually reminds you that it's time for minor maintenance - it's best to check the oil condition before clearing it rather than ignoring the prompt directly. Doing the reset yourself can save you the time and fuel costs of going to the 4S store.
Resetting the maintenance light is actually quite simple. Last time, I taught my neighbor how to do it on a Mistra in the parking lot, and the whole process took less than two minutes. First, put the car in the power-on state without starting the engine, then use the up and down buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle settings. When you find the maintenance option, hold the OK button for ten seconds until the progress bar completes and the light goes off. The button locations may vary depending on the model year; for the 2017 model, it's operated in the left instrument control area. The key point is to ensure the car is in Park (P) mode during the operation. If the reset fails, it might be because the counter wasn't reset after the last maintenance, so it's advisable to check the maintenance manual beforehand to confirm the cycle. After resetting, drive for a while to check if the light reappears.
