Then press the right button to switch the display to instantaneous fuel consumption; 3. Turn off the power, then hold the right button without releasing it, subsequently turn on the power for self-check, and continue pressing the right button for more than three seconds; 4.

Back when I drove my Chery Cowin 1, resetting the maintenance light was super easy: First, completely turn off the engine, then press and hold the small button on the right side of the dashboard. At this point, turn the key to the ignition-on position (but don’t start the engine), and you’ll see a small wrench symbol flash on the dashboard. Keep holding the button for about 5 seconds until the symbol disappears—that’s it. The button location might vary depending on the model year; some are at the bottom right corner of the speedometer. I’ve helped my neighbor with this two or three times, and the whole process never took more than 15 seconds. If the symbol is still there after trying, it might be due to poor button contact—a common issue with older cars. If all else fails, just spend 20 bucks at a local shop to have them clear the code with a scanner—saves time and effort.
I know this well! Sit in the car without pressing the brake pedal, then hold down the mileage reset button (that little stick on the dashboard). Next, turn the key to the ON position with your right hand, wait for the dashboard to fully light up, and silently count to three. At this point, the maintenance reminder light in the center of the dashboard will flash rapidly. Wait until it stabilizes and stays lit before releasing the button, then finally turn off the key. Last time, my cousin's car had been driven 2,000 kilometers after the maintenance reminder before successfully resetting it following these steps. Remember, don't start the engine during the entire process. If it doesn't work the first time, wait a few minutes and try again. Older car electronics react slowly, so be patient.
