Zhonghua V3 maintenance light reset steps are as follows: 1. First, the driver needs to enter the main cabin and ensure all four doors are closed. 2. Then insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the OFF position. 3. The maintenance reset button for Zhonghua V3 is located in the middle of the instrument panel. Use your left hand to press and hold the reset button. 4. While holding the reset button with your left hand, turn the key to the ON position with your right hand and wait briefly. 5. Finally, the wrench icon on the instrument panel will disappear, indicating the maintenance light has been successfully reset.
My own Zhonghua V3's maintenance light kept coming on, and it took me several tries to figure it out. You need to turn the car key to the ON position (without starting the engine) while the car is off, and the dashboard will light up completely. Quickly press and hold the small round button on the right side of the dashboard without letting go, wait for about five or six seconds, and you'll see the maintenance light flash twice before turning off. The key is to keep your hand steady and press the button firmly. If it doesn't work the first time, just turn off the key and try again—the car won't get damaged. After regular maintenance, remember to ask the technician to reset it for you to save yourself the trouble. If you're really unsure, just check the manual, as the procedure might vary slightly for different model years of the V3.
Last time I went to the 4S shop for maintenance, the technician taught me how to reset the maintenance light myself: First, make sure the car is completely turned off, then power on until the dashboard lights up but don't start the engine. Press and hold the plastic button on the right side of the dashboard with your right hand, located near the speedometer. Keep an eye on the maintenance light, and release the button once you see it start flashing. My car is a 2018 model, and when performing this operation, don't step on the brake pedal, or it might fail. I suggest checking the maintenance light when you inspect the tire pressure every month. If the light stays on after resetting, it might really be time for maintenance—don't push it. The maintenance light is just a timer and has nothing to do with the car's performance, so don't stress too much about it.
