What is the method to reset the Land Rover maintenance light?
2 Answers
To reset the Land Rover maintenance light, you can use the function button on the right side of the steering wheel. Navigate to the vehicle information on the dashboard and select the 'Latest Alert' option. Simultaneously press and hold the down button on the steering wheel and the 'i' button on the turn signal lever for about 10 seconds to reset it. Below is an introduction to the maintenance light and Land Rover: 1. The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to alert the owner for scheduled maintenance based on mileage or time. It appears as a dashboard or screen message or indicator light. 2. Resetting the maintenance light means clearing the reminder information after completing the maintenance, also known as information reset. 3. Land Rover is a British luxury all-terrain SUV brand founded by Maurice Wilks in 1948.
I was really worried when the service light came on in my old Land Rover last time. I tried holding down the Trip button on the dashboard for five seconds with the engine off, but nothing happened—turns out I was using the wrong method. Actually, the reset procedures vary greatly between different Land Rover models. For newer models, you need to use the steering wheel button control panel, navigate to the vehicle menu, find the service reset option, and manually confirm the reset. Resetting the service light is crucial because it reminds you when it's time for an oil change or maintenance. If you don’t reset it promptly, the light will stay on, making it easy to overlook the actual condition of your car, which can lead to increased engine wear and higher repair costs. I ended up figuring it out by consulting the manual, and I’d advise beginners to do the same—don’t just randomly press buttons like I did to avoid trouble. Regular maintenance is really important, especially before long trips, to ensure all systems are functioning properly.
