The steps to reset the maintenance light on a Suzuki Swift are: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the trip meter reset button for more than 5 seconds; 2. The information display will flash "OIL" once and then continue to display "OIL"; 3. Release the trip meter reset button and quickly press the button 5 times consecutively within 2 seconds; 4. After "OIL" flashes 3 times and turns off, the reset operation is completed. Taking the Swift 2016 1.5L Automatic Fashion Cool Play Edition as an example: The manufacturer of this car is Changan Suzuki, its class is a compact car, the energy type is gasoline, the transmission is a 4-speed automatic, the body type is a 5-door 5-seat hatchback, and the top speed is 173 kilometers per hour.
When it comes to resetting the maintenance light, I really enjoy doing it myself, especially for models like the Suzuki Swift. I've tried it a few times, and the steps aren't too complicated: first, don't start the car, turn the key to the off position to completely cut the power. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard without releasing it. Next, gently turn the key to the ON position, where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start; at this point, you'll see the maintenance light start flashing. Keep holding the button for about 5 to 10 seconds until the light goes off or stabilizes, then release the button. Finally, turn the key off and on again to check if the indicator light is gone. The whole process requires careful attention, as pressing the wrong steps might accidentally trigger other systems or fail to reset the light properly. If it doesn't work the first time, don't worry—try a couple more times or check the manual. This light mainly reminds you of the oil change interval, and during regular maintenance, you should also pay attention to replacing the filter and fluids to extend the car's lifespan. I find DIY quite rewarding, at least saving the hassle and cost of going to a shop, but if you're unsure, it's better to seek professional help—safety first.
