My family also drives a Chery Tiggo 3, and the maintenance light coming on is really annoying. Let me tell you how to reset it: First, turn the key to the off position and hold it there. Then, press and hold the small button on the dashboard—specifically the trip button or mileage reset button—without letting go. Next, slowly turn the key to the power-on position, where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn’t start. Keep an eye on the maintenance light; it will flash a few times and then go off. Usually, after 5 to 10 seconds, you can release the button, and you’re done. I’ve tried it several times myself—it’s super simple and saves you money by not needing a mechanic. The purpose of the maintenance light is to remind you to change the oil regularly and check the brakes, among other things. Don’t think the light coming on is a bad thing; just reset it promptly after maintenance, and it will light up again on time to remind you next time. I recommend checking the owner’s manual often, as the buttons might vary slightly depending on the year of your Tiggo 3. Safety first—don’t mess around with it randomly. After resetting, you’ll feel much more at ease when driving.

Fellow Chery Tiggo 3 owners, I've encountered the maintenance light issue once before: After turning off the engine and removing the key, wait for a moment without doing anything. Then locate the small round button on the left side of the steering wheel—usually the button for adjusting the odometer display—and press it firmly without releasing. Next, turn the key to the ACC position or power on the vehicle, and all the dashboard lights will illuminate. Continue holding the button until the maintenance indicator light turns off by itself before letting go. I learned this method online and succeeded on the first try! The key to this reset method is to operate steadily without rushing. Besides, the maintenance light is there for your benefit, reminding you to service the car every 5,000 or 10,000 kilometers. Once reset, it won't give false alarms anymore, making your drive much more pleasant. Think about it—if you don't reset it, the persistent light might make you worry unnecessarily that something's wrong with the car when there's actually no major issue. Just handle it promptly, and you're good to go.

Here's how I reset the maintenance light on my Tiggo 3: Turn off the engine and ensure the key is in the fully off position. Press and hold the trip reset button on the dashboard for about 5 seconds without releasing. Turn the key to the 'on' position without starting the engine, then observe the maintenance reminder light flashing on the dashboard. Release the button immediately after the light goes out. The whole process is straightforward and can be done at home, saving you the hassle of queuing at the dealership. The maintenance light is designed to monitor vehicle health, and resetting it starts the count anew to remind you of the next service. It's advisable to regularly check other vehicle conditions to avoid any misleading signals.

As a car owner, I pay great attention to the maintenance light reset: After turning off the engine, first switch off the ignition key, press and hold the trip button while turning the key to the pre-ignition position, wait about ten seconds until the light goes off, then release. Resetting is essential because once the light comes on, it will keep reminding you if not reset, sometimes causing unnecessary worry by mistakenly indicating a fault. After resetting, ensure the maintenance schedule isn't disrupted. It's recommended to follow the 5,000 km standard for oil changes and check tire pressure, brakes, etc., to prevent potential issues and enhance safety. The Tiggo 3 is generally durable, but this small detail shouldn't be overlooked. The operation is simple but must be performed accurately to avoid mistakes.
