How to manually reset the maintenance light on a Tiggo 3?

[Hall]

The maintenance light is set by the car manufacturer to remind owners of scheduled maintenance. With the engine off, press and hold the reset button on the Tiggo 3's dashboard, then turn the key to the ON position to illuminate all dashboard indicators. Keep holding the reset button for several seconds to clear the maintenance light. More details about the Tiggo 3 are as follows: 1. The interior retains the current model's design, with upgrades mainly in the center console area and door panels where additional silver chrome trim has been added for decoration. The manufacturer states that future models will undergo configuration adjustments. 2. In terms of features, the new Tiggo 3 comes equipped with a multifunction steering wheel, an 8-inch LCD display, Bosch 9.0 ESP dynamic stability system, and hill-start assist, among others. Safety features have also been adjusted; the new model comes standard with ESP electronic stability system, EBA brake assist control system, and TCS traction control system, though these are not standard on the 1.6L manual comfort and 1.6L CVT comfort models. 3. The powertrain continues to use the current model's 1.6L naturally aspirated engine (model SQRE4G16), with a maximum output of 93kW (126PS) and peak torque of 160N.m, paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission.

I've driven the Tiggo 3, and manually resetting the maintenance light is actually quite straightforward. First, turn off the engine and let the car come to a complete stop. Then, without removing the key, turn it to the ACC position to illuminate the dashboard. Locate the small TRIP button, usually near the speedometer, press and hold it firmly for about ten seconds. The dashboard lights will blink a few times and then turn off. That's it. If it doesn't work, it might be because the button wasn't pressed firmly enough or the car's model year is different—checking the owner's manual is always a good idea. The maintenance light is essentially a good reminder to change the oil and check the car's condition on time. After resetting the light, don't forget to perform the maintenance. Developing this habit can extend the engine's lifespan. Simple DIY saves repair costs, but don't be lazy and just reset the light without doing the maintenance—that would only shortchange yourself.

I happened to try resetting the maintenance light on the Tiggo 3. The method is quite straightforward: right after turning off the engine, press and hold the trip reset button on the dashboard for about 5-10 seconds, and the light usually resets automatically. The exact button location varies by car—mine was a small knob on the right side of the steering wheel. Remember, this must be done when the engine is off, or it won’t work. The maintenance light triggers due to mileage or time limits; manually resetting it is a temporary fix, but actual maintenance is crucial to prevent part wear. I recommend resetting the light right after each service—it saves money and hassle. Also, beginners should press gently (no brute force)—the button is fragile. The manual is the best reference to avoid mistakes.

As an average car owner, don't panic when the maintenance light on your Tiggo 3 comes on. The manual reset procedure is simple: With the engine off, press and hold the dashboard button (usually for a few seconds until the light goes out). From my experience, the button is typically located in the center of the instrument panel - just hold it until the light flashes and then release. If unsuccessful, consult the manual or search for online tutorials. The maintenance light indicates service time is due, so schedule an oil change promptly after resetting. Remember not to ignore it - proper maintenance ensures safe and smooth driving.
