Hold down the black knob on the dashboard and turn the ignition key three times to reset it. Introduction to the maintenance light: The car maintenance light is an indicator that illuminates when the vehicle reaches the scheduled maintenance mileage within the preset maintenance cycle, prompting the need for vehicle maintenance. As driving time increases, the wear and tear on internal components of the vehicle gradually intensifies. To ensure normal operation, manufacturers have installed reminder indicator lights. Upon reaching a certain mileage, the owner should promptly replace the components. After successful replacement, it is also necessary to reset the car's maintenance light to zero. Function of the maintenance light: The purpose of these lights is to record the mileage usage of important components, much like a timer in a sprint race, serving as a reminder for both the vehicle owner and automotive maintenance personnel. However, if the owner replaces the relevant components but fails to reset the maintenance light, it generally does not affect the vehicle's performance but can cause unnecessary trouble for the next component replacement—specifically, the inability to accurately track the usage time of the new components.
I got this! First, sit in the car and turn off the engine, remember to pull the handbrake. Then locate the small mileage display button near the instrument panel (that's the Trip button), press and hold it firmly. With your other hand, turn the key to the power-on position, but don't start the engine! Now watch the instrument panel closely - the maintenance light will start blinking. Keep holding the button for about 10 seconds until the light completely goes off before releasing. Turn off the power and restart the car; if the light doesn't come back on, you've succeeded. I helped my neighbor with this procedure on their 2017 model last year - the key is holding the button long enough. Also, note that button locations may vary by model year; for the 2015 model, the button is on the left side of the steering wheel and you might need to feel around to find it.
