What is the method to reset the maintenance light on Changan Suzuki?
3 Answers
Turn on the ignition key while pressing the brake pedal and accelerator pedal all the way down, then rotate the ignition key to the second position. Next, press and hold the small trip reset button on the right side of the dashboard for 2-3 seconds, while simultaneously pressing the accelerator and brake pedals, and wait for about 15 seconds. Once the maintenance light on the dashboard starts flashing, release the accelerator and brake pedals, turn off the ignition switch, and the maintenance light reset is complete.
I've been driving a Changan Suzuki for many years and often perform the maintenance light reset. The usual method is to press and hold the reset button on the dashboard (location may vary by model, often near the speedometer) while the engine is off. Then turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine, wait for the maintenance light to flash or go off, and release the button. This step is crucial because if you don't reset it after maintenance, the light will stay on as a reminder, affecting your judgment of the next service interval and potentially wasting time on unnecessary garage visits. Note that procedures may slightly differ between models like Swift or Alto - it's best to consult your owner's manual or online video tutorials. Regular maintenance light resets ensure accurate vehicle service records, prolong lifespan, and prevent unnecessary fault warnings.
As a working professional who frequently drives, the first thing I do when the maintenance light on my Changan Suzuki comes on is to look for the reset method. The basic steps are: turn off the engine, press and hold the small button on the dashboard for a few seconds, turn the key to the second position without starting the car, and release the button once the light goes off. Don't ignore this—it's just a reminder that maintenance is due. Make sure to reset it after servicing to avoid false alarms. A friend of mine didn't reset it, and the light kept flashing, making him think something serious was wrong. If you can't find the button, just check the manual or ask at the 4S store. The whole process takes just two minutes and helps keep your car in safe condition. Developing this habit saves both hassle and money, so don't put it off.
