What is the manual method to reset the maintenance light on the older Changan CS75?

Turn on the ignition switch, locate the settings menu on the multimedia central control screen, and click to enter. After entering the settings menu, find the vehicle menu. Within the vehicle menu, select maintenance. In the maintenance menu, you can choose to turn the maintenance reminder function on or off. The mileage and time intervals for maintenance can be adjusted by touching the screen separately and making changes in the pop-up menu. After making adjustments, click the reset button at the bottom to complete the maintenance reset.
I've worked on many older car models, and this issue is quite common. Manually resetting the maintenance light is straightforward: First, completely turn off the engine and remove the key to ensure power is off. Then locate the trip reset button on the dashboard—usually a small round button labeled TRIP or mileage. Press and hold it without releasing. At this point, turn the key to the ON position, but do not start the engine; you'll see the maintenance light begin to flash. Keep holding for about 5 to 10 seconds until the light goes out, then immediately release the button. Finally, turn off the power and wait a few minutes before starting the car to check if the light is gone. If there's no response, try again or consult the manual, as some older CS75 models require precise timing. Remember not to perform this operation while driving—safety comes first. After resetting, make sure to maintain regular servicing; the light is just a reminder tool to prevent engine wear. The whole process takes no more than a minute, but doing it accurately can save you a trip to the dealership.
