To reset the oil maintenance light on a Chevrolet Captiva, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the reset button A while stepping on the brake pedal; 2. Turn the ignition switch to the 'on' position without starting the engine; 3. The characters 'INSP' will flash or the display will blink; 4. Continue holding down the reset button A; 5. Release the reset button A and then release the brake pedal; 6. Turn the ignition switch back to the 'off' position to complete the reset process. Taking the 2017 Chevrolet Captiva as an example: It is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4690mm in length, 1849mm in width, and 1753mm in height, a wheelbase of 2707mm, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a top speed of 175 kilometers per hour.

I've been driving my Chevrolet Captiva for several years, and the oil maintenance light coming on is a common issue, especially if it's not reset after an oil change. Here's a simple method: First, don't start the engine, just turn the ignition key to the ON position, and the dashboard will light up. Then locate that small reset button, usually found on the left side of the steering wheel or below the speedometer. Hold it down for about 10 seconds until you see the maintenance light start flashing, then release. Wait a few more seconds, and it should turn off completely. If you can't find the button, you might need to check the manual in your car, as its position may vary depending on the model year. Remember, always confirm that new oil has been changed before resetting, or you'll just be wasting your time and misleading yourself. If the light doesn't go off, it will keep reminding you, which is not only annoying but might also affect other dashboard displays. Last time I forgot, and ended up messing around for a while before learning this trick, which saved me from queuing at the repair shop. Make it a habit during regular maintenance to manually reset the light right after changing the oil to ensure your car runs healthily.
