How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Chery Car?
2 Answers
To reset the maintenance light on a Chery car, follow these steps: 1. Insert the key and press the small button on the right; 2. Turn the key to the 'on' position; 3. Hold the small button for a few seconds, then release; 4. Press and hold the small button again, gently turn it to the right, then release to clear the maintenance reminder. Chery's vehicle lineup includes models such as the Tiggo 8, Tiggo 3x, Arrizo 5e, Tiggo 3xe, and Ant. For example, the Tiggo 8 is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4700mm in length, 1860mm in width, 1746mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710mm.
I've been driving a Chery car for some years now, and dealing with the maintenance light is something I often encounter. Usually, you first turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then press and hold the small button on the dashboard, such as the trip reset button, until it flashes a few times before releasing. Different models like the Tiggo or Arrizo might have slightly different procedures—I once succeeded with this method on a Tiggo. If the button operation doesn't work, it might be due to a wrong key combination; checking the manual is the safest bet since designs vary across models. The maintenance light is a reminder to change the oil or get a check-up—don't ignore it. Even after resetting it promptly, you should still take the car to a professional shop for maintenance to extend its lifespan and avoid major repair costs. From my own experience, regular maintenance makes the car run smoother.
