How to reset the manual maintenance reminder on Emgrand GS?

Methods to reset the manual maintenance reminder on Emgrand GS: 1. There is a button on the dashboard for adjusting the mileage. Press and hold this button for 2 to 3 seconds while the engine is idling. Once the maintenance reminder disappears, the reset is complete; 2. With the ignition switch turned off, press and hold the trip reset button without releasing. Insert the car key and turn it to the position where the dashboard lights come on, then release the trip reset button. Wait for the maintenance light to go out; 3. Turn off the ignition switch while holding down both arrow buttons. Then turn on the ignition switch for 3 seconds before releasing the two arrow buttons. The display will show the maintenance menu asking if you want to reset. Press and hold the SET (reset) button for more than 3 seconds, press the MODE button, then turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset. The Emgrand GS is a city crossover SUV developed by Geely Auto, built on Geely's new FE platform, and belongs to the third-generation products under Geely's development strategy, alongside the Borui and Boyue.

I encountered this issue before and figured it out after some trial and error. For the Emgrand GS manual maintenance reset, it mainly relies on dashboard button operations: First, turn off the ignition to shut down the engine, then press and hold the small trip button on the dashboard without releasing it. Simultaneously, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. At this point, you'll see the wrench light on the dashboard flashing. Continue holding the button for more than 5 seconds until the wrench symbol completely disappears. Release the button and turn off the key to complete the process. If it gets stuck midway, remember to check if the button is pressed all the way down. It's safer to perform this operation in a parking lot, and beginners should refer to the vehicle manual to confirm the button's location beforehand. After completing this, the next maintenance cycle will be recalculated, and the dashboard won't keep popping up reminders during daily driving.

My old Emgrand GS also frequently has the maintenance light issue, but resetting it is quite simple. The key is to locate that small round button at the bottom left of the dashboard, some call it the trip reset button. Make sure the vehicle is powered on but not started when operating. Holding the button for about 8 seconds is more reliable. When 'SERVICE' appears on the screen, continue holding until the icon disappears before releasing. Two practical failure experiences to share: the reset will be interrupted if the button isn't pressed firmly enough; the dashboard interface may differ between new and old models - for post-2018 vehicles, it's advisable to check the manual. The most obvious sign of successful reset is that the dashboard no longer shows maintenance reminders after starting the engine.

Resetting the maintenance reminder on the Emgrand GS manually takes about three minutes. The core steps are divided into four parts: After turning off the car, hold down the dashboard adjustment button, turn the key to the second position to power on (do not start the engine), wait for the wrench light to start flashing, then continue pressing the button until the prompt completely disappears. There's a detail to note: the dashboard programs vary slightly for different model years. My 2017 model requires 6 seconds, while my neighbor's 2020 model needs 10 seconds to reset. After resetting, the dashboard will display the mileage normally, indicating success. It's recommended to do this in a well-lit area, and those who wear glasses can more easily see the small icon changes. Doing it yourself saves both time and a trip to the 4S shop.

When resetting the maintenance reminder light on the Emgrand GS, follow the safety sequence carefully. First, ensure the vehicle is turned off, parked stably with the handbrake engaged, and the key removed for at least 30 seconds. Then, press and hold the trip button on the left side of the dashboard with your left hand, while turning the key to the power-on position with your right hand. Observe the change in the red wrench indicator on the dashboard—it will transition from steady illumination to flashing and then disappear. The entire process should take 5-8 seconds. After successful reset, turn the ignition on again to double-check. Two tips: Be cautious of short circuits when operating in rainy conditions; the button is located at the edge of the dashboard directly in front of the steering wheel on the Emgrand GS, but it may be harder to locate if the dashboard has a protective film. After resetting, verify during each startup self-check that the light does not reappear.

I often help friends with this issue. The key to manually resetting the Geely Emgrand GS lies in finding the right trigger point: it must be done with the ignition on while keeping the engine off. During the operation, focus on the dashboard and wait until all needles complete their self-check before pressing the button. Apply moderate pressure—excessive force might damage the button. You'll hear a faint beep during the reset process, which is easier to detect than watching for icons. If unsure after completion, verify by turning the ignition on and off three times. Note that in winter, warm up the car for a few minutes first, as cold electronics may respond about two seconds slower. The entire process is actually simpler than changing wiper blades.
