Flagcloud 1 maintenance light reset method: First, turn on the power and reset the small mileage on the dashboard; then press the right button to switch the display to instantaneous fuel consumption; turn off the power, then hold down the right button without releasing it, turn on the power for self-check, and continue to press the right button for more than three seconds; finally release the right button, immediately press both the left and right buttons at the same time, and release both buttons within two seconds to reset the maintenance light. The newly designed crystal diamond headlights of the Flagcloud 1, complemented by front fog lights, not only improve driving safety but also enhance the vehicle's stylish appearance; the electrically adjustable European-style rearview mirrors, paired with side anti-scratch strips, not only enhance the streamlined beauty of the vehicle but also add fashionable and dynamic elements.
When I first started driving the Chery Flagcloud 1, I was also confused by that little wrench icon. Later, I figured out a simple method: first, turn the key to the position where the dashboard powers on, but don't start the engine. Then, keep an eye on the dashboard and press and hold the small round button on the right (the mileage reset button) for about five seconds until you hear a 'ding' sound, and the maintenance reminder will start flashing. Next, quickly press the mode switch button on the left three times in a row. At this point, the wrench icon will disappear. Finally, turn off the power and restart the car, and it's done. I did this after my last oil change and made sure to note the steps so I wouldn't forget. Working on an old car yourself can be quite rewarding, but if the icon doesn't disappear after two tries, it's best to check at a repair shop—it might be a sensor issue.
Resetting the maintenance light on this car is actually quite simple. I usually do it right after changing the oil. Sit in the driver's seat, turn on the ignition to light up the dashboard, then press and hold the odometer reset button with your left hand for about five seconds until the maintenance icon flashes. Immediately use your right hand to press the dashboard brightness adjustment button three times in quick succession. Remember to press the buttons quickly and accurately, as being too slow may cause it to fail. If successful, the dashboard will beep to indicate the reset is complete. Once when helping a neighbor with his car, I noticed that some models have slightly different button placements—the left button might be the clock adjustment instead, but the principle is the same. If you really can't figure it out, check the last few pages of the owner's manual; the manufacturer has it all written there.
The maintenance reminder on the Chery Fulwin 1 is quite annoying as it can't be cleared. I figured out a method myself: turn the key to the ON position (where all dashboard lights are on), then press and hold the TRIP button at the lower right corner of the dashboard. When the maintenance indicator starts flashing, immediately press the SET button on the left three times. The whole process takes about ten seconds. Key point: the engine must not be started; the operation must be done in the standby power-on state. Last week, when teaching my cousin, I noticed a detail: it's easier to succeed if you press the brake pedal simultaneously. This method works for older models with mechanical instrument clusters; for those with LCD displays, a diagnostic computer is needed for resetting.
