How to Reset the Maintenance Light on Chery Flagcloud 3?

[LaCorey]

Chery Flagcloud 3 maintenance reset method is as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition switch and clear the small mileage reading on the dashboard; 2. Press and hold the right button on the dashboard to bring up the instant fuel consumption; 3. Turn off the ignition switch while holding the right button on the dashboard; 4. Turn on the ignition switch while keeping the right button on the dashboard pressed for more than three seconds; 5. Release the right button and immediately press both buttons on the dashboard simultaneously, releasing them within two seconds, and the small wrench icon on the dashboard will disappear. The Chery Flagcloud 3 is a compact car with body dimensions of 4552mm in length, 1750mm in width, and 1483mm in height.

I've driven this older model before, and resetting the maintenance light actually involves two different methods. For the 2007 to 2010 older Chery Fulwin 3 models, you first need to turn off all electrical devices, then use the mechanical key to turn the ignition to the position where the dashboard lights up but don't start the engine. At this point, press and hold the button under the dashboard for about ten seconds until the wrench light flashes a few times and goes off - that means you've succeeded. Current car owners might not be familiar with these old-school operations. Remember, you must operate in the power-on but engine-off state. Holding the button a few extra seconds doesn't matter. After finishing, remember to start the engine to confirm the wrench light doesn't come back on - that's how you know it worked.

It depends on the model year and configuration of your Chery Flagcloud 3. The reset methods for traditional keys and later keyless start systems are completely different. For vehicles with push-button start: Don't press the brake pedal, push the start button twice to enter self-check mode. See the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel? Hold it down until the dashboard fully powers up, watch for the wrench symbol to flash three times before releasing. For older mechanical key models: After powering on, locate the protruding reset button at the lower right corner of the instrument cluster and press it firmly for about 7-8 seconds. After resetting, start the engine immediately to check results - sometimes multiple attempts may be needed if it doesn't work the first time.

Here's a lazy trick: Simply disconnect the negative battery terminal for ten minutes. First, open the trunk to locate the battery, use a 10mm wrench to loosen the negative terminal nut, and cut off the vehicle's power to reset the system. Then reconnect it, start the engine for self-check, and the maintenance reminder might disappear on its own. This method is suitable for cases where the button reset just won't work, especially effective for older cars with frequently freezing infotainment systems. Remember to close all windows before disconnecting the battery, and if the car has an anti-theft system, make sure not to exceed half an hour.

During actual car repairs, many people get stuck at the first step—power-on state errors. You must strictly ensure that the clutch and brake are not pressed, only powering on—the dashboard lights up but the engine must absolutely not start. Then check the configuration: for base models, press the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel; for higher-end models, locate the small button inside the hole on the left side of the steering column. The most crucial step is observing the dashboard response! Only when the wrench icon starts flashing does it confirm entry into reset mode—keep holding the button until the light goes out. For older cars, the buttons are prone to poor contact, so pressing harder is fine.

As an experienced owner, I'd like to highlight three crucial points: First, the entire operation must be completed within 30 seconds. Second, after maintenance, wait 5 minutes for the system to record data before resetting. Lastly, each door opening/closing may reactivate the warning light. I discovered a little trick during my last reset: Press the button with your left hand while quickly opening/closing the door three times with your right hand - this actually increases the success rate. With older vehicle electronics, sometimes unconventional methods work better. The reset is only successful if the light stays off after taking the car for a test drive.
