How to Reset the Chery Maintenance Alert?
3 Answers
Turn the ignition key to the 'ON' position with your right hand while continuously pressing the reset button on the right side with your left hand. Then, turn off the ignition key and wait until the screen goes completely black. Next, turn the ignition key back to the 'ON' position until the maintenance alert disappears automatically, then release the button to complete the reset. Below is relevant information about vehicle maintenance: 1. The maintenance indicator on the car dashboard serves as a reminder for scheduled maintenance. During maintenance, the alert can be cleared using the computer system at a 4S dealership. 2. Vehicle maintenance primarily includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life. 3. The maintenance light functions as a mileage recorder for critical components, similar to a timer in a sprint race, serving to remind both the car owner and maintenance personnel.
I used to drive a Chery car, and the maintenance alarm kept popping up to annoy me. Just do it yourself. Find the small buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, press the setup button to enter the menu, select the maintenance reset option, and confirm to get it done. For some models, you need to hold the OK button for 5 seconds to clear it. Be careful not to press other buttons randomly to avoid adjusting the wrong settings. After doing this, remember to change the oil and filter on time. The alarm usually pops up every 5,000 kilometers to remind you. If you don’t clear it, it will be annoying but won’t harm the car. If you can’t get it done, the system might be stuck or the last maintenance data wasn’t recorded. It’s recommended to restart the car and try again. If I do regular maintenance, it won’t happen so frequently. If the alarm persists after maintenance, check if the car key has unlocked the system settings.
It's best to handle this at a professional auto repair shop. They use specialized diagnostic tools to connect to the OBD port for resetting, which takes just two minutes with no risks. DIY attempts may accidentally affect the brake or lighting systems—I've seen cases where people messed with buttons and ended up dimming the dashboard, causing delays. After clearing the alert, stick to scheduled maintenance: regular oil changes and air filter replacements extend engine life. To prevent alerts, check your vehicle's condition every 5,000 km and maintain service records. Opting for brand-authorized service centers is more reliable, as they verify maintenance updates in the backend system.
