Southeast DX3 maintenance light reset specific steps are as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition switch to power up the car. 2. Press the multi-function information setting reset lever to switch the display screen interface. 3. Each press of the reset lever switches the display once until the wrench icon lights up and a setting symbol appears next to it. 4. Press and hold the reset lever for about 5 seconds to reset the maintenance light to zero. 5. After successful reset, the system will display the time and mileage for the next maintenance. Extended information: 1. The first maintenance mileage for the Southeast DX is 3,000 kilometers, and after the first maintenance, it should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. If the car is used frequently or the driving environment is poor, the maintenance cycle should be shortened accordingly. 2. The function of the maintenance light is to record the mileage of some important components, serving as a reminder for the car owner and maintenance personnel.
My family owns a Soueast DX3, and when the maintenance light comes on, I reset it myself—it's pretty simple. First, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the ON position—don’t start the engine, just power it up and leave it there. Then look for a small button on the left or right side of the dashboard, usually labeled 'Trip' or 'TRIP.' Press and hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds without letting go. The light will blink a few times and then turn off automatically, indicating a successful reset. The first time I did it, I got impatient and released the button too soon, so I had to start over. After resetting, the system will reset the mileage count and remind you of the next maintenance. If you ignore the light, it’ll keep shining annoyingly and might delay normal maintenance like oil changes. I usually reset it right after maintenance—it’s hassle-free and safer. Remember, the button position might vary slightly depending on the model, but the steps are always reliable.
I've been using the Southeast DX3 for two years and have reset the maintenance light several times through the dashboard buttons. Specifically, after turning off the car, turn the key to the ON position but don't start the engine, then find and hold the TRIP button until the light goes off. Once, I tried pressing it after starting the car, but it didn't respond at all—I realized the engine must be off first. After resetting, the light goes off, and I can drive with peace of mind. This light actually reminds you to perform maintenance, like changing the oil; ignoring it could lead to risks. I suggest beginners check the manual or forums first to confirm the button location instead of pressing randomly. The operation is simple—just a minute to complete—and you can even learn a little technical skill. It's best to reset the light on the day of maintenance for better memory reinforcement.
