The method to reset the maintenance light on the MG5 is: You need to purchase a diagnostic tool, then connect it and follow the prompts on the diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light. It is recommended that car owners go to a professional repair shop for the reset. When the maintenance light comes on, you should make an appointment with the 4S shop for maintenance. The MG5 is a mid-level hatchback launched on the Global A platform, with dimensions of 4363mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1492mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The car is equipped with an ME788EMS engine and an ETC electronic throttle control system; the timing system adopts a silent chain design, using low-friction piston rings and low-tension valve springs; the interior features sports seats made of calf leather, a leather steering wheel, automatic climate control, and a VPDC reverse camera assistance system.
I recently reset the maintenance light on my MG5, and here's how I did it. First, insert the key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine, keeping the car powered but the engine off. Then, locate the small button on the left side of the steering wheel, specifically the one with an arrow icon, and hold it down for about seven to eight seconds until the maintenance light on the dashboard flashes and turns off. The whole process is straightforward and takes less than a minute, saving you a trip to the dealership. I always reset it after completing maintenance to avoid distracting reminders while driving. If the button doesn’t respond, it might be due to poor wiring contact or low battery voltage, so it’s worth checking. Resetting it helps recalibrate the next maintenance cycle, which is good for vehicle upkeep and prevents unnecessary warning noises.
