Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is in a safe location, parked on a level surface, and the engine is turned off.
Have the key fob or smart key ready to access the ignition.

2. Access the Ignition

Insert the key into the ignition or press the "Start" button without pressing the brake pedal (for push start).
Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine. If using a key, do not turn it to the "START" position.

3. Reset the Maintenance Light

Press the "Trip" button on the instrument cluster until the trip meter reads "Trip A."
Turn the ignition off.
While holding the "Trip" button, turn the ignition back to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Continue to hold the "Trip" button until the maintenance light resets. This usually takes about 10 seconds, and the light should flash and then turn off.

4. Final Steps

Turn the ignition off again.
Start the engine to verify that the maintenance light is no longer illuminated.
