What is the method to reset the maintenance light on the new 2020 Emgrand?

Here are the specific steps to reset the maintenance light on the 2020 Emgrand: 1. Power on: Insert the key, but do not turn it. Hold the operation lever next to the odometer for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to power on. 2. Continue holding the lever: After another 5-10 seconds, start the car. Keep holding the lever throughout this process. 3. Repeat if necessary: If the wrench symbol is not cleared, repeat the same process a few more times. Note that maintenance intervals vary by manufacturer and model. Refer to the vehicle's user manual for when the maintenance indicator light should come on. After maintenance is completed, the technician will reset the maintenance light to zero through the setup procedure.

I once tinkered with my friend's new Emgrand maintenance reminder light, and it's actually not hard to handle. For the 2020 Emgrand manual reset, remember not to start the engine—just turn the key to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard fully. Then press and hold the small stalk on the dashboard (the right-hand trip meter toggle button) for about ten seconds until the wrench icon starts flashing, then release. Press and hold it again until the icon disappears, and you're done. However, I noticed a detail: some owners reported no response, possibly because they didn't act immediately after powering on. Also, newer infotainment systems allow resetting via the settings menu, but I find the old method more straightforward. The maintenance light doesn't affect driving, but it's annoying to see—better to turn it off early.

Anyone who has driven the new Emgrand knows that the little wrench icon on the dashboard can be quite stubborn. Here's a tested and effective method: After powering on (without pressing the brake pedal), quickly press the start button three times to enter diagnostic mode. At this point, don't touch any other buttons—simply locate the toggle button on the left side of the steering wheel and the confirm button on the right, then press and hold both simultaneously. Keep an eye on the dashboard until the progress bar reaches 100%. This trick was taught to me by a mechanic during my last service—if it fails, remember to turn off the auto start-stop function and try again. After completing the process, it's advisable to drive a few kilometers to check if the warning reappears. My neighbor had to revisit the dealership for a computer reset because the initial attempt wasn't thorough enough.

The reset process for the New Emgrand maintenance reminder mainly involves three steps: First, power on the vehicle without starting the engine. Second, locate the settings interface on the dashboard (some models require pressing steering wheel buttons to navigate). Third, enter the maintenance menu and select 'reset'. For hardware-operated models like the 2020 base version: press and hold the right button on the side of the dashboard (similar to adjusting the clock) to enter engineering mode, then press the left confirmation button when 'reset' appears. A tip: if resetting right after maintenance, it's best to drive a short distance first to let the system record new data. While some TikTok videos demonstrate this, their rough handling can easily freeze the dashboard. Actually, pressing buttons slowly yields higher success rates.

Last week, I just reset the maintenance light on my 2020 Emgrand. First, some tips: Check your car's configuration. For mid-to-high trim models with menu buttons on the steering wheel, use the left directional button to navigate to the maintenance interface and press the confirm button to reset—it's more convenient than using the instrument panel buttons. During testing, I discovered a small trick: clearing the trip mileage before resetting increases the success rate. For base models without menu buttons, you need to hold both buttons on the instrument panel until the wrench icon flashes. The key point is that the operation must be completed within 20 seconds after powering on, or the onboard computer will lock the function. Once, I forgot to close the car door, which caused three failures—later, I realized all doors need to be shut tightly. After resetting, it's recommended to drive for about five minutes to let the system perform a self-check.

The Emgrand maintenance light reset is divided into mechanical and touchscreen versions. For the mechanical version, locate the physical button near the tachometer, power on the vehicle, and press the right button for more than 10 seconds. The touchscreen version can be operated in the system settings under vehicle status. Sharing a real mishap experience: I thought the button was broken, but after opening it up, I found coffee spilled inside causing poor contact. If you encounter no response no matter how you press: first, check if the battery voltage is sufficient at 12V; second, try disconnecting the negative terminal for three minutes to completely reset the computer; third, it might be that the mileage hasn't been reached or the last reset was fake. Fixing this yourself can save you two hundred bucks, but if it really doesn't work, don't force it. Last year at the 4S store, I saw an owner who pressed the dashboard until it deformed.
