The method to reset the maintenance light on the Great Wall Haval H7: With the engine turned off, press and hold the short-distance trip counter reset button below the tachometer. While holding the button, turn on the ignition. Release the short-distance trip counter reset button when the SERVICE indicator appears on the display. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right. After the mileage is displayed on the screen, turn off the ignition to complete the maintenance light reset. The Haval H7 is a mid-size SUV under the Great Wall brand, with dimensions of 4715mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1718mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2850mm. In terms of power, the Haval H7 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across all models, delivering a maximum horsepower of 227 HP and a peak torque of 385 Nm. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Last time I reset the maintenance light on my Great Wall Haval H7, it was super simple. Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, just to light up the dashboard. Then press and hold the ODO button on the dashboard for about 5 to 10 seconds until you see the maintenance light icon blink a few times or turn off before releasing. After it's done, turn off the key and restart to check if the light is really gone. This kind of reset is purely a reminder; Haval models are all set up this way, with the light coming on every few thousand kilometers or six months to prompt maintenance. My first attempt didn’t go well, and it took me a few tries to get it right—maybe the button position varies slightly between different models. Make sure the car is parked and the handbrake is engaged; don’t try to do this while driving to avoid distraction. After resetting, it’s a good idea to drive for a few more days to see if the light comes back on. If the reset doesn’t work, just take it to a 4S shop where the professionals can sort it out in no time. No need to stress—it’s just a software reset and doesn’t affect driving performance. You’ll get the hang of it after a few tries.
