How to reset the maintenance light on Chery e3?
3 Answers
Turn off the ignition button, the dashboard should be in a dark state with no lights illuminated. Press and hold the square button located at the upper right of the dashboard with one hand, then turn on the ignition button with the other hand while keeping the first button pressed. When turning the key, do not release the button and do not start the engine. Maintain this for a few seconds until the maintenance light is cleared.
I also drive a Chery E3 and have encountered the issue of the maintenance light coming on. The method to reset it is actually quite simple: First, completely turn off the vehicle and turn the key to the OFF position. Then, press and hold the trip meter reset button on the dashboard. While holding the button, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Keep holding the button, and after a few seconds, you'll see the maintenance light start flashing—then you can release the button. The light should go off. If it's still on after trying this, it might be because the last maintenance wasn't reset properly or there's a minor system glitch. I recommend checking the vehicle manual—my 2015 model was fixed this way. If all else fails, just visit a 4S shop—they can reset it in seconds with their computer. Regular maintenance is crucial, so after resetting the light, remember to change the oil on time to avoid serious engine problems.
As a safety-conscious individual, I must emphasize: the maintenance light serves as a reminder to complete servicing, and you must ensure maintenance is done before resetting it. The method is: turn off the ignition, press and hold the trip reset button on the instrument cluster, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, wait for the light to flash, then release. If the light doesn't disappear, it may indicate insufficient battery power or wiring issues - don't force it, try charging the battery first. I've personally used this method with good results. But if you're unsure about the procedure, visit an authorized Chery dealership where they can handle it professionally. Remember, ignoring the maintenance light can lead to increased fuel consumption or severe engine wear - don't risk major damage to save small costs.
