How to reset the maintenance wrench light on Chery Tiggo 5x?

The illumination of the maintenance light indicates that the vehicle requires professional servicing. A typical car maintenance can take as little as 40 minutes or as long as two to three hours, with the duration depending on the number of maintenance items needed. The method to reset the maintenance wrench light on Chery Tiggo 5x is as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and shut down the engine; 2. Locate the "menu toggle" button on the steering wheel, which is the button with two overlapping squares; 3. Press and hold the "menu toggle" button, then press the "one-touch start" button; 4. After the vehicle powers on, it will begin self-inspection. Continue holding the "menu toggle" button until the self-inspection completes (approximately 5 seconds), and the maintenance light will reset; 5. Restart the vehicle, and the maintenance light will no longer illuminate.

I've driven Chery cars for many years, and here's how to reset the maintenance wrench icon on the Tiggo 5x: First, turn off the engine and remove the key—don't rush to restart. Locate the TRIP button or a similar setup button on the dashboard and hold it down. Then, insert the key and turn it to the ON position (without starting the engine). You might see the wrench symbol flashing on the dashboard—wait patiently for 5-10 seconds until it completely disappears before releasing the button. This method works well and has been tested by many owners. I recommend resetting it immediately after completing maintenance because the reminder is there to prevent you from forgetting upkeep. Don’t skip maintenance, or engine repairs could cost much more later. If it doesn’t work the first time, check if the button has poor contact or repeat the steps. If it still fails, visit a 4S shop for diagnosis—it might be a minor software issue. Stick to regular maintenance habits to save money and hassle in the long run.

I've also dealt with the maintenance wrench reset on my Tiggo 5x. The steps are straightforward: turn off the engine and remove the key. Locate and hold the TRIP button near the steering wheel. Then insert the key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine. Watch the dashboard – the wrench light will flash a few times and then go off, at which point you can release the button. I've tried this method several times with good results, the key is not to rush. If you've just completed maintenance, reset it promptly to avoid false alarms. If it doesn't reset, the button might be stuck or there could be an electrical issue – try disconnecting the battery negative terminal for a few minutes before reconnecting. Always pay attention to your vehicle's condition while driving; catching small issues early prevents bigger troubles. Don't skimp on maintenance – spending money on oil and filter changes ensures safety.

I've done this reset procedure. After turning off the ignition and removing the key, hold down the TRIP button. Turn the key to ON position, watch for the wrench icon to flash and disappear before releasing. It's quick and simple, but make sure maintenance is completed first - don't skip this step. If the icon persists, check if the button is dirty or try pressing it at different positions. If it remains lit, visit a professional workshop. While saving money is good, prioritize safety - always check your vehicle's condition before driving to prevent accidents.

I am very cautious when resetting the maintenance wrench. First, turn off the car and remove the key. Press and hold the SET button without releasing it, then turn the key to the ON position and wait for the wrench light to go off. If there is no response, confirm that the maintenance has been completed before trying again; otherwise, it might indicate a genuine fault. Refer to the manual for specific steps, prioritize safety and avoid forcing it. It's recommended to have it professionally handled at a 4S shop. Preventive maintenance extends the vehicle's lifespan and saves on major repair costs.

I save money and hassle with this method. After turning off the engine, hold the TRIP button, turn the key to ON, and wait for the wrench symbol to disappear. Doing it myself avoids extra costs, but don't ignore the maintenance reminder if the light comes on—engine upkeep isn't something to skimp on. Simple tools like the owner's manual can help; always pay attention to unusual noises and fuel consumption to prevent major issues. It's worth saving, but don't take risks.
