There are three methods to reset the maintenance reminder light for the 2018 CR-V: 1. Using the personalization function to reset: (1) First, ensure the CR-V's power mode is in ON mode, the vehicle is completely stopped, and the gear is in P position. (2) Press the information display button on the left side of the steering wheel, then select the clock vehicle settings display. At this point, you will see the "Vehicle" option. (3) Subsequently, press the vehicle maintenance information reset to complete the process. 2. Using the function buttons on the steering wheel to reset: (1) Set the CR-V's power to ON mode. (2) Repeatedly press the (Display/Information) button until "Maintenance" appears on the display. (3) Press the Enter button, and the engine oil monitor will appear on the screen. (4) Finally, hold the Enter button for about 10 seconds, and the maintenance light will be successfully reset. 3. Honda authorized service center: When the maintenance light comes on, you should go to an authorized service center for maintenance as soon as possible. The maintenance personnel there will reset the maintenance light using a car diagnostic tool. However, if you find that the light has not been reset after maintenance, you will need to follow the steps mentioned above to reset it. Resetting the CR-V maintenance light is essential to ensure the accuracy of the data for the next maintenance, so this step is very necessary.
Here's a practical trick to reset the maintenance light on your 2018 CRV. First, don't press the brake pedal, but press the start button twice to power up the dashboard. Then locate the information button with the letter 'i' on the left side of the steering wheel and press it several times until the screen displays the oil life or wrench icon. At this point, press and hold the information button for 10 seconds without releasing. The screen will jump to the settings menu, then press the button for another 5 seconds until you see the 'Maintenance Reset Complete' prompt. Remember to keep the power on throughout the entire process. After completion, turn off the engine and restart the car to check if the light has turned off. I did this on my own car, and it only takes a minute, saving you the hassle and unnecessary expense of visiting the dealership.
Resetting the maintenance reminder for the 2018 CRV is actually quite simple. I just did it on my own car last week. First, press the start button twice to power on (don't press the brake to start the engine). Locate the trip information screen on the dashboard, then use the 'TRIP' button on the steering wheel to switch to the oil life display. Firmly hold the button for over 10 seconds until the settings menu appears, then continue pressing for another 5 seconds. The key is waiting for the 'Maintenance Information Reset Successful' English prompt to pop up on screen. If it fails, just repeat the process 2-3 times. Remember to power off and restart to confirm the light turns off - even mechanics say this method is more convenient than using diagnostic tools.
Here's a DIY method I recommend for resetting the CRV maintenance light: After powering on, use the multifunction button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch display modes. When you find the wrench icon, press and hold the button for over 10 seconds. After the menu jumps, release and press again for 5 seconds – you must see the "Reset Successful" prompt for it to count. Operate quickly to prevent system sleep, usually two attempts will zero it out.
