Where is the maintenance light reset button located on the Mazda CX5?

Mazda CX5 does not have a dedicated maintenance light reset button, but instead uses a combination of button operations. Below are the steps to reset the maintenance light as well as the common methods for other vehicle models: Steps to reset the maintenance light on Mazda CX5: After starting the engine, locate and press the INFO button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel, while simultaneously pressing the SET button on the left control panel of the steering wheel. The central display screen will then show the vehicle maintenance information interface. Finally, press the OFF button on the right side of the steering wheel to complete the reset. Common methods to reset the maintenance light for other vehicle models: For other models with a reset button, the general method is to first turn the key to the ON position, hold down the reset button without releasing it, then turn off the power, release the reset button, and hold it down again. Next, turn the key to ON, wait until the dashboard stops flashing, and then release the button. Check if the maintenance light has been reset. This operation can be repeated several times if necessary.
I've driven several Mazda CX-5 models, and the reset button location actually varies by model year. For newer models like those after 2020, there's no physical button to find - you need to adjust it through the instrument cluster: First power on the vehicle without starting the engine, then locate the INFO button on the right side of the steering wheel (the one with the 'i' symbol) and press it rapidly three times. For older models it's simpler - just press and hold the TRIP button at the lower right corner of the instrument cluster until the display turns off and then lights up again. Both methods require releasing the button when the indicator light flashes. I recommend checking your vehicle's owner's manual - the diagrams there show it most clearly. By the way, remember you must reset after maintenance, otherwise the next service interval will be calculated incorrectly.
