The method to reset the maintenance light on the Beijing BJ40 is as follows: First, turn on the power by pressing the start button without starting the engine. Then, press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it for more than 5 seconds. Next, press the start button again to turn off the power. After releasing the accelerator pedal, wait for 2 minutes until you hear a sound, indicating that the maintenance light has been successfully reset. The Beijing BJ40 has body dimensions of 4350mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1834mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2450mm. In terms of exterior design, the vehicle features a boxy shape. The front grille adopts a five-hole design, decorated with chrome trim. The headlights use a new LED light assembly, and the taillights also feature LED light groups. The LED lens lights and intelligent fog lights with cornering assist lighting not only enhance the visual appeal of the front but also improve driving safety.
After my last maintenance service for my friend's Beijing BJ40, I researched the method to reset the maintenance reminder light. I found that for most models after 2018, you need to turn the key to the ignition-on position (without starting the engine), then press and hold the TRIP button near the instrument cluster for about 5 seconds until the maintenance menu appears. Then use the up/down buttons on the multifunction steering wheel to select the reset option, and hold the OK button for a few seconds to confirm. Different model years may have variations - for example, older models might require a combination button press. If the light doesn't turn off after this procedure, it could indicate a system malfunction or uncleared trouble codes, in which case I recommend connecting a diagnostic scanner to check. Otherwise, incorrect reminders might affect maintenance cycle judgment. As someone who enjoys studying these small techniques while driving, I've developed the habit of regularly checking the manual to avoid misoperation. This method is simple, cost-effective, and something you can do yourself.
As a frequent off-road vehicle owner, I'm quite familiar with the Beijing BJ40. Resetting the maintenance light is actually not difficult. Try this: First, don't start the engine, just turn the key to the ignition-on position without firing up the engine - the dashboard lights should come on. Then press and hold the small button on the left side of the instrument panel (the one that displays the ODO mileage) for several seconds until the maintenance reminder appears on the screen. Use the steering wheel buttons to select reset and confirm. Last time I tried, it took me two attempts - the first time I didn't hold the button long enough. If it doesn't work, it might be due to low battery voltage or a system glitch; just restart the car and don't worry too much. Doing it yourself not only saves trouble but also helps you understand your vehicle better, and you'll be able to keep more accurate track of maintenance intervals in the future.
