I've been driving my Chery A3 for several years, and whenever the maintenance wrench light comes on, I just reset it—super simple: turn off the engine, hold down the trip reset button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. After about 5-10 seconds, the wrench icon disappears automatically, and it's done. This design is pretty smart—saves trips to the dealership. As someone who often tinkers with car mods, I know the maintenance light doesn’t actually affect driving, but it’s annoying to see and can make you miss actual service intervals if ignored. So, I reset it right after every maintenance. Just be careful not to press the wrong button—the manual has detailed steps. Regular checks keep the car running smoothly.

When driving my Chery A3 with family and encountering the maintenance light, the method is quite straightforward: After turning off the engine and the key, hold down the dashboard button, turn on the electrical power without starting the engine, and hold for a few seconds until the light goes out. This prevents the light from flashing continuously, which can affect driving mood. Maintenance itself is crucial; timely oil and filter changes extend the car's lifespan. I always reset it on schedule for peace of mind. If not reset, the light won't harm the car, but it might delay actual reminders, leading to increased engine wear. New car owners are advised to read the user manual carefully or learn the process at the dealership once to ensure every step is done correctly.

After my Chery A3 maintenance, the service light kept coming on. I figured out a solution: with the engine off, hold down the trip button, turn the key to the ON position, and keep holding the button until the icon disappears. At first, I was worried it might damage the car, but after asking a mechanic, I learned it's just a reminder to reset. Not resetting the maintenance light isn't a big deal—you can still drive as usual—but sticking to regular maintenance is key. Checking fluids and filters helps prevent issues. Just keep an eye on dashboard changes and don't stress too much. A few simple steps can save you hassle.

When I first drove the Chery A3, I didn't know how to reset the maintenance light. The steps I learned were: turn off the key; locate and hold the instrument cluster mileage reset button; turn the key to ON; do not start the engine; keep holding the button until the wrench symbol disappears. It's not difficult, but new drivers may panic. If the light isn't reset, it just serves as a flashing reminder and doesn't affect safe driving. However, resetting it makes things cleaner. Remember to perform the operation immediately after maintenance and check the manual to prevent other issues.
