2019 Outlander maintenance light reset method is: 1. Turn the key to turn off the engine; 2. Locate the trip computer control button on the left side of the center console; 3. Press and hold the button for more than 5 seconds, then press the ignition button to start the vehicle; 4. The maintenance light reset is complete. Taking the Outlander 2019 2.0L 2WD Changxing Edition 5-seater National VI as an example: it is a compact SUV launched by GAC Mitsubishi, with a length, width, and height of 4705mm, 1810mm, and 1710mm respectively, equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, a maximum power of 122kw, a maximum torque of 201nm, and matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 6 gears).

Last time I reset the maintenance light on my 2019 Outlander myself, and it went pretty smoothly. Here's how to do it: First, sit in the car without starting the engine, just turn the key to the ON position to power up the dashboard. Then locate the small button on top of the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel, press and hold it for about three seconds until you see the maintenance light on the dashboard blink twice and go off, which means the reset was successful. The whole process doesn't require stepping on the accelerator or turning on the AC, making it super convenient. If the light stays on after maintenance, check whether you turned off the engine right after the service, as the vehicle might not have detected the new maintenance data. It's recommended to perform this operation immediately after every oil change for the most reliable results.

Sharing a little tip for resetting the Outlander maintenance light: With the car completely turned off, turn the key to the position where the dashboard is powered but the engine is not started (be careful not to step on the brake). Then press and hold the odometer reset button at the lower right corner of the dashboard for about five seconds. You'll hear a beep, and the maintenance reminder light will automatically disappear. Two things to note: First, the engine must be off during the operation; second, after resetting, it's recommended to restart the vehicle to check if it was successful. This design is much more convenient than some models that require a computer connection—just two minutes of DIY and it's done.

Resetting the maintenance light on the 2019 Outlander is straightforward: Turn the key to the ACC position before starting, allowing the dashboard to illuminate without the engine running. Locate the protruding control lever behind the steering wheel—the circular button at its tip is the key. Hold it down for four seconds until the wrench icon on the dashboard flashes and then disappears. If there's no response, the steps may have been incorrect; simply turn off and try again, which usually works. Essentially, the maintenance light is just a reminder—resetting it restarts the mileage count, but it's advisable to adhere to the manufacturer's recommended service intervals.
