The method to reset the maintenance light on the Envision is: 1. Use the up and down buttons on the multifunction steering wheel to locate the oil life, then press and hold the button with a checkmark on the right side of the steering wheel until the oil life displays 100%; 2. Alternatively, you can select the maintenance reset option via the menu button and hold it down to reset. Many modern vehicles come with a maintenance mileage recording function. If the vehicle exceeds the specified maintenance mileage without servicing, the maintenance light on the dashboard will illuminate. The Envision is a model under the Buick brand of Shanghai General Motors, with body dimensions of 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1660mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. In terms of exterior design, the Envision features a newly designed intelligent drag-reducing grille, aluminum roof rails, newly designed chrome dual exhaust pipes, 19-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and multifunctional exterior rearview mirrors.
After servicing my Envision, I always had to manually reset the warning light, but I figured out a simple method: First, press the start button without stepping on the brake to power up the dashboard—you'll notice the tachometer lights up but the engine doesn't start. Then, use your right hand to press the five-way control button on the steering wheel to navigate the menu to the oil life section. With your left hand, locate the checkmark confirmation button on the left side of the steering wheel and hold it down firmly for about ten seconds. The dashboard will then display a 'Reset Successful' message, and the oil life will reset to 100%. This method works for most models after 2018. For older models, it's best to check the manual for specific button locations. After resetting, drive a couple of kilometers to see if the light turns off. If it doesn't, you’ll need to visit a repair shop to check the onboard computer with a diagnostic tool.
Last time, it took me half an hour to figure out how to reset the maintenance light on my friend's Envision. The key lies in the power-on sequence and button combinations. You need to have the dashboard fully lit without starting the engine. On the right-side control area of the steering wheel, there are directional buttons—use them to navigate to the settings menu and find vehicle information. Here's the crucial part: In the oil life reminder interface, press and hold the center OK button until the progress bar fills up. There's also a shortcut button on the left side of the steering wheel that can bring up the maintenance menu for a direct reset. The newer models with touchscreen displays are more intuitive—just go to Vehicle Settings > Maintenance and tap the reset option. As a reminder, after resetting, always double-check the next maintenance mileage and don’t just reset without considering the actual vehicle condition.
