How to cancel the maintenance wrench on Southeast Motor DX3?
2 Answers
Southeast Motor DX3 method to cancel the maintenance wrench: Turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the mode button for more than 5 seconds while the oil symbol is displayed on the combination meter information display. After the oil symbol starts flashing, quickly press the mode button more than 5 times. The oil symbol will flash 3 times and then turn off, the maintenance reminder alarm light will go out, and the zero reset operation is completed. The length, width, and height of the Southeast Motor DX3 body are 4354mm, 1840mm, and 1654mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. The car is front-wheel drive and is equipped with an engine with a maximum power of 88kw and a maximum torque of 143nm.
I remember when I was driving my SouEast DX3 last time, the maintenance wrench light was on and quite annoying, but I managed to fix it myself later. The simple steps are: first, don’t start the engine, turn the key to the ON position (dashboard lights up fully), then press and hold the TRIP button or adjustment knob on the dashboard for about 5-10 seconds. The screen will flash and display 'reset' or the small wrench will disappear. If there’s no response, the method might be wrong or it could be a year-specific issue—check the owner’s manual for specific instructions. It took me a few tries to get it right at first, and don’t attempt this while driving as it’s very dangerous. This design is to remind you to change the oil or perform regular maintenance. Neglecting regular maintenance can cause the engine to wear out faster, so it’s recommended to check the fluid condition every 5,000 kilometers—it’s both cost-effective and safer.
