Tiggo 3 maintenance light reset method: 1. Turn off the ignition switch, at this time the instrument panel is in a power-off state; 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position; 3. Press and hold the button on the instrument panel without releasing, then turn the ignition switch to the ON position; 4. Wait for a few seconds, and the maintenance light will reset. The Tiggo 3 is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 85kW, a maximum torque of 143Nm, a maximum power speed of 6150 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 4000 rpm. This engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 93kW, a maximum torque of 160Nm, a maximum power speed of 6150 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3900 rpm. This engine is equipped with DVVT technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block.
I've had a Tiggo 3 for several years and have reset the maintenance light more than once. The steps are quite simple: first, turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine, then find a small button on the dashboard that looks like TRIP or ODO, press and hold it for about ten seconds until the maintenance light flashes a few times and goes off completely. Finally, turn off the key, wait half a minute, and restart the engine. That usually does the trick. If there's no response, check if the button wasn't pressed firmly enough or if the battery power is unstable. When the maintenance light comes on, it's a reminder not to delay maintenance. Regularly changing the oil and filters keeps the engine running smoothly, extends the car's lifespan, and saves fuel. My neighbor's Tiggo had issues at just 30,000 kilometers because maintenance was delayed, costing thousands in repairs. Remember these little tricks to drive with more peace of mind and save money.
Last time the maintenance light came on in my car, I just reset it myself. The specific steps are: sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the accessory position without starting the engine, locate the adjustment button near the steering wheel, hold it down for about ten seconds until the light goes off. Sometimes the button location varies by model - for the Tiggo 3 it's usually at the lower left corner of the instrument cluster. If it doesn't reset completely, try a few more times and it'll work. The maintenance light is just a friendly reminder to get your car checked. My car has been maintained regularly every 50,000 km, and the transmission remains as smooth as new. A minor service only costs a few hundred bucks - it's not worth delaying until major repairs costing thousands become necessary. Resetting the light yourself saves money and hassle, but always check your tools are ready before driving - don't let small issues compromise safety.
