What is the method to reset the Buick maintenance light?
2 Answers
Buick maintenance light reset method is: 1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to on mode; 2. Press the sel button until the maintenance message appears on the display; 3. Hold the enter button for 10 seconds. Taking the 2021 Buick GL8 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5238mm, width 1878mm, height 1776mm, wheelbase 3088mm, fuel tank capacity 66l, trunk capacity 475l. The 2021 Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 237ps, maximum torque of 350nm, maximum power of 174kw, matched with a 9-speed automatic manual transmission.
As a regular Buick owner, I recently had the maintenance light come on and tried resetting it myself. The first step is to turn the key to the ON position or press the one-button start to the RUN state without starting the engine. Then, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, such as the TRIP button, and press it a few times until the dashboard displays the Oil Life percentage or the maintenance reminder screen. Next, hold down the SET/CLR button for about 5 seconds until the light turns off, indicating success. Different models may vary; for example, the Buick GL8 and older Regal models have different procedures, so it's best to check the owner's manual for confirmation. Why reset the maintenance light? It serves as a reminder to change the oil or perform routine maintenance. It's safer to reset it after completing the maintenance. I recommend not rushing to just reset the light—first, check the oil condition and air filter, as neglecting these could lead to engine wear. These operations are quite simple, so don’t stress—just do it yourself safely. Driving on the highway with the light still on can be unsettling.
