Suzuki SX4 maintenance light reset method: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, briefly press the right information display selector handle, and the information display screen will go black and stop; 2. Press and hold the left odometer button for more than 5 seconds until the oil lock display appears on the screen, then release the button; 3. Release the button and press it 5 times consecutively within 2 seconds. The oil lock will turn off, displaying 'SUCCESSFUL', indicating the reset operation is complete. The Suzuki SX4 is a business vehicle under Suzuki, featuring a significantly redesigned front face. The newly designed vertical slat grille connects with the reshaped headlight cluster, creating a very outstanding effect. Combined with the more complex lines of the front bumper, the overall appearance is more fashionable.

I've been driving my Suzuki SX4 S-Cross for two years, and the maintenance light came on a few days ago. I thought there was a big problem with the car. Actually, resetting it is very simple: After turning off the engine, press and hold the small button on the dashboard (the one used to adjust the odometer), while turning the key to the position where the dashboard lights up—don’t start the engine. Wait for about 5-10 seconds until you see the light blink, then release the button, and it will turn off. This light is just a reminder for maintenance. I always do it myself to avoid the hassle of going to the dealership. Don’t worry about any risks—just make sure you’re parked safely. The key point is that when the maintenance light comes on, it means it’s time to change the oil. Don’t delay, as skipping maintenance can affect the engine’s lifespan. Here’s a little trick I learned: If it doesn’t work, check if the button is faulty or if there’s a wiring issue. Once it’s done, you can drive worry-free for thousands of kilometers.

The method to eliminate the maintenance light mainly involves resetting the system program. You need to ensure the car is completely turned off, then press and hold the reset button on the right side of the dashboard; at the same time, turn the key to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard, hold for about 10 seconds, and the light will automatically turn off, indicating a successful reset. I often help friends with this, and the steps are generally applicable to most car models. This light is triggered based on mileage or time settings, and after elimination, it can recalculate the interval. Emphasizing safety: do not operate while driving, as it can easily distract you. The maintenance light is not a fault warning but a maintenance reminder. If it frequently lights up or behaves abnormally, there may be a short circuit in the wiring that needs checking. Regular maintenance can avoid major repair costs later on.

The reset process is straightforward: turn off and park the car, press the button on the dashboard (the round one), turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. After 5 seconds, the light will go off, and you're done. I pay attention to this every week on my way to work. Resetting promptly after maintenance allows the system to track the next service time. If you forget to do it, no big deal, just mention it during the next service. This method is simple and efficient, don't overcomplicate it.
