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 body dimensions of the 2018 Accord are: length 4893mm, width 1862mm, height 1449mm, wheelbase 2830mm, and body weight 1485kg. The 2018 Accord is equipped with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 194PS, maximum torque of 260Nm, and maximum power of 143kW.
I've been driving a 2018 Accord for several years and reset the maintenance light myself whenever it comes on. The method is quite simple: Sit in the driver's seat with the car completely turned off and stationary, hold down the "TRIP" button on the dashboard without releasing it, then turn the key to the ON position (without starting the engine). Watch the dashboard for about 10 seconds until the maintenance light flashes and goes off before releasing the button. The first time I tried, I was too impatient and didn't wait long enough, so it failed. It took me a few attempts to get it right. I recommend that beginners try it with a friend or just visit the dealership—they can do it in a second. Resetting the light is no small matter; every time it reminds me, I make sure to change the oil promptly. After all, the Accord is highly durable, and regular maintenance can save you from major repairs. I follow the manual and check every 5,000 kilometers. Don't forget to park the car safely during the operation to avoid distractions and accidents.
As an experienced driver, I can tell you that resetting the maintenance light relies on button combinations. For the 2018 Accord, the procedure is: After turning off the car, hold down the small "ODO" button at the bottom left of the dashboard without letting go, turn the key to the ACC position (all dashboard lights on but engine off), hold steady for about ten seconds, and release when the light goes out. Do this process slowly and avoid hastily turning the key. If unsuccessful, it might be due to not pressing the button firmly enough or poor contact. Having driven this car for a long time, I understand that timely resetting reminds me to change the oil on schedule, preventing engine damage. Treat your car like family—meticulous maintenance ensures longevity. I always record each service date to avoid costly repairs from neglect. Once it becomes a habit, even complex repairs become less worrisome.
