How to Turn Off the Maintenance Light on a Chery?
2 Answers
To turn off the maintenance light on a Chery, follow these steps: Press the reset button for the short-distance counter located below the tachometer while the engine is off. Then, turn the ignition switch to the ON position and release the reset button. The SERVICE indicator will appear on the LCD screen. Next, press the minute button, and the mileage will be displayed on the screen. After turning off the engine, you will see a reset reminder. Finally, turn the ignition switch to the ON position to turn off the maintenance light. Taking the Chery Tiggo 3 as an example, its dimensions are 4420mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2510mm. In terms of power, this vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 143Nm.
Last time when I was driving my Chery Tiggo, I also encountered the annoyance of the maintenance light being on. To be honest, it was a bit irritating. Usually, when this light flashes, it means the car has reached the maintenance interval, such as popping up to remind you every 5,000 kilometers. I tried to solve it myself: start the engine without pressing the brake, then press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard for about 10 seconds, and the light will go off. If it doesn’t work, maybe I did something wrong, like pressing the wrong button, as the button positions vary by model. It’s best to check the manual first; if you don’t have one, search for Chery’s official tutorial on your phone—many videos explain it clearly. Don’t force it to avoid misoperation and system damage. Remember, even after turning off the light, you should still take the car to the shop for a check-up, like changing the engine oil and air filter, to keep the car running smoothly and fuel-efficiently, and to extend the engine’s lifespan. Regular maintenance can actually save you a lot of money—replacing a small part costs just a few hundred, but repairing it after it breaks will be much more expensive. In short, this issue is minor but shouldn’t be ignored.
