The method to reset the maintenance reminder light on a Chery is as follows: Turn on the ignition, use the instrument panel mode adjustment button to switch the display to the instant fuel consumption status, then turn off the ignition. While holding down the right mode switch, turn the ignition back on, then release the right mode switch. Within 30 seconds, simultaneously press both buttons on the instrument panel—the mode switch and the clock switch—to clear the maintenance light.

I remember the maintenance reminder light of my Chery came on while driving, which was really annoying. To reset it, the general method is to first turn off the vehicle's power, simply shut off the engine. Then locate the TRIP button or a similar small button on the dashboard and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position, where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start. Continue holding the button for about 5 to 10 seconds until the small light turns off by itself, sometimes the dashboard may flash to indicate a reset. This process is simple, and I've tried it a few times myself—it works quite well. However, the button location may vary depending on the car model. If you can't find it, it's best to check the owner's manual or call the 4S shop to ask. The maintenance light is just a reminder that it's time to change the oil or inspect parts—don't just reset the light without servicing the car, as that could lead to problems. Regular maintenance keeps your Chery running smoother, extends its lifespan, and reduces the risk of breaking down on the road.
The maintenance reminder light is on, so get rid of it quickly to avoid distraction. The usual steps to reset it are: turn off the engine, press and hold the reset button on the dashboard, turn the power to the ON position, keep holding for a few seconds until the light goes off. I've seen others use this method to fix it quickly. However, it's recommended to visit a professional shop for maintenance afterward—changing the oil and filter can prevent engine wear. Skipping regular maintenance increases fuel consumption and repair costs, and may even shorten the vehicle's lifespan. If the button doesn't respond, the switch might be faulty or there could be a battery issue—get it checked immediately. Developing a habit of regular maintenance ensures a safer and more worry-free driving experience.
