The method to reset the maintenance light on the 2018 Accord is: 1. Set the power mode of the Accord to ON; 2. Use the left selector wheel on the steering wheel to switch the instrument display to the warning message; 3. Press the left selector wheel to complete the reset. The 2018 Accord is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of length 4893mm, width 1862mm, height 1449mm, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. Its curb weight is 1548kg.

It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 146ps, a maximum power of 107kw, and a maximum torque of 175nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving a 2018 Accord for a while, and resetting the maintenance light isn't actually difficult. Sit in the car, pull the handbrake to ensure safety, turn the key or press the ignition button to the ON position without starting the engine. Once the dashboard lights up, find the left-side button, such as SELECT or INFO, press it a few times to navigate to the maintenance reminder page. Once displayed, immediately press and hold the RESET button without letting go for about five to six seconds until the light goes off, then release—it's reset. The first time I did it, I almost got frustrated because I forgot to navigate to the page first and just randomly pressed buttons without any response. Remember to do this after maintenance to avoid the annoying flashing light. On a related note, low battery voltage might affect the reset, so check the battery regularly if your car is older. Develop good habits—service every 5,000 kilometers and don’t wait too long after the light comes on; it’s better for the engine. Doing this takes less than two minutes and saves a trip to the repair shop.
