Here is the method to reset the maintenance light on the Refine M5: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, briefly press the right information display selector handle to adjust the information display to a black screen (the display cycles through: instant fuel consumption - average fuel consumption - remaining mileage - average speed - black screen). 2. Press and hold the left mileage button for more than 5 seconds until the display shows the oil lock indicator. Then release the button, and the display area will show "OIL" for 2 seconds. 3. After completing step 2, release the button and immediately press it quickly 5 times within 3 seconds. 4. After "OIL" flashes three times and then turns off, "SUCCESSFUL" will be displayed.

I once reset the maintenance light on my JAC Refine M5 myself, and it was quite straightforward. First, turn off the engine and park the car. Then, press and hold the small button on the right side of the dashboard. Next, turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine. Watch the dashboard—after holding the button for about five to six seconds, the maintenance light will flash a few times and then turn off. At this point, release the button and turn off the ignition. When you turn the key back to the ignition position, you'll notice the light is no longer on. The first time I tried, I didn't hold the button long enough and it didn’t work, but trying a couple more times did the trick. Remember to start pressing the button while the engine is off, otherwise it might not respond. After resetting the light, it's best to drive a few dozen kilometers to confirm it doesn’t come back on, ensuring the next maintenance reminder is properly reset.

Resetting the maintenance light is actually quite simple. First, ensure the vehicle is completely turned off. Locate the reset button on the dashboard and hold it down. Turn the key to power the dashboard but do not start the engine. Continue holding the button for about ten seconds, keeping an eye on the maintenance indicator light. Release the button immediately when the light starts flashing and dims. Turn off the power, wait for a minute, and then power it back on to check if the reset was successful. Note that the button position may vary slightly in different model years of the Ruifeng M5. If you can't find it, refer to the manual's diagram. I recommend resetting it immediately after completing maintenance to ensure the new maintenance cycle is accurate. If the light remains on after repeated attempts, there might be an issue that requires professional inspection.

Don't panic when the maintenance light comes on. For someone like me who doesn't know much about cars, checking the user manual is the easiest solution. The Refine M5 manual provides detailed illustrated instructions: After turning off the engine, press and hold the reset button, then power on to observe the indicator light changes. Typically, holding it for more than five seconds will turn the light off. Remember to just turn the key until the dashboard lights up during the operation, and definitely don't start the engine. Last time after maintenance, the technician demonstrated it in person, and I found the button is right below the speedometer. If you really can't figure it out, just take it to the shop—they can reset it in minutes with their computer. Regular maintenance is crucial for your car, so don't delay when the light comes on.
