Haval H7 maintenance light reset is completed through button operations. Specific steps: With the engine turned off, press and hold the trip meter reset button. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. When the 'SERVICE' indicator appears on the display, pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right. The odometer reading will then appear on the display. Subsequently, turn off the engine, then turn the ignition switch to the ON position again to complete the maintenance light reset. Maintenance Light: The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to alert the owner to perform scheduled maintenance at certain mileage intervals or time periods. It appears in the form of an instrument panel or screen message or indicator light to remind the owner to service the vehicle.

As a long-time owner of a Haval F7 for several years, when the maintenance light comes on, I have to manually reset it, otherwise the reminder gets too annoying. The steps are quite simple: First, turn off the engine and don't start it, sit in the driver's seat, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the ON position without igniting. Hold for a few seconds, watch for the dashboard display to flash or change, usually wait a few more seconds before releasing the button. Once done, the light will go off. I've been using this method since the 2020 model without any issues. The key is not to operate while driving—safety first; the maintenance light reminds you of regular servicing, don't ignore it to avoid engine wear. I also recommend recording the maintenance mileage after each reset to develop a good habit, which can extend the car's lifespan by several years.

As a technician who frequently works on car repairs, resetting the maintenance light on a Haval F7 is something users can actually handle themselves, saving both money and hassle. The key steps involve operating after turning off the engine: turn the ignition switch to the ON position without starting the engine, then press and hold the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel for about ten seconds until the display shows the maintenance message disappears. Remember to be quick and precise during the operation, avoiding shifting gears or touching other buttons midway. This light reset is software-controlled and won't harm the car, but incorrect operations might cause malfunctions, so it's wise to pay more attention to regular vehicle maintenance. Regular maintenance can extend the engine's lifespan—I've seen many owners face major repairs due to neglect, which ends up costing much more.

Tech-savvy drivers of the 2020 Haval F7 say resetting the maintenance light is super smart and takes just a few steps. After turning off the engine, get in the car, turn the key to the ON position without starting it, then press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard. Release it when the setup menu appears or the numbers start flashing—usually, the light will go off within ten seconds. This design is very user-friendly, as the car's system helps save time. The maintenance light reminds you to change the oil and perform other services, so remember to actually do the maintenance after resetting. Just like a phone, a car needs updates to maintain good condition and reduce failure rates.

As a regular commuter, seeing the maintenance light come on can be stressful, but resetting it isn't difficult. First, make sure the car is turned off, then turn the ignition switch to the ON position while seated—don't press the accelerator—and firmly hold down the TRIP button on the dashboard. Hold it for about 15 seconds until the maintenance reminder disappears before releasing. Don’t rush to drive off; check if the reset was successful. Incorrect operations might trigger error codes, so always refer to the manual beforehand as a precaution. Never ignore the maintenance light—it protects the engine. Even after resetting, stick to scheduled servicing for peace of mind. Personally, I stay alert to unusual car noises to prevent issues early.
