2 Answers
The method to reset the oil maintenance light on the Alivio is as follows: 1. Insert the vehicle key and start the vehicle; 2. Press the button on the right side of the instrument panel; 3. Press the button on the left side of the dashboard until you hear a beep. The Alivio is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4545mm in length, 1730mm in width, and 1475mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 90 kW and a maximum torque of 158 Nm. The drive system is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension using torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and have helped many Kia Rio owners deal with their oil change indicator light issues. When this light comes on, it's reminding you it's time for an oil change - don't just reset it without actually servicing your vehicle. The reset procedure typically goes like this: First turn off the engine, then rotate the key to the position where the dashboard lights up (but don't start the car). Locate the small button on the instrument cluster (usually the trip reset button) and hold it down for about 10-15 seconds until the maintenance light turns off. After resetting, start the engine to verify the light stays off. I've seen cases where people delayed maintenance too long and ended up with serious engine problems that were much more expensive to fix. Actually, regular oil changes significantly extend engine life - it's best to get it checked every 5,000 kilometers or six months, which will keep your car running much more reliably.
