What is the method to reset the maintenance light on a Chery QQ?

The method to reset the maintenance light on a Chery QQ is: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, use the adjustment button in the center of the dashboard to switch the dashboard mode to the instantaneous fuel consumption state, then turn off the ignition switch; 2. Press the adjustment button, turn on the ignition switch, hold it for more than 3 seconds, then release the adjustment button, and the maintenance light will reset automatically. Taking the 2013 Chery QQ as an example, its body dimensions are: length 3564mm, width 1620mm, height 1527mm, wheelbase 2340mm, front track 1390mm, rear track 1365mm, fuel tank capacity 35l, trunk capacity 190l, and curb weight 936kg.

I found that resetting the maintenance light on the Chery QQ is actually quite simple. Last time, I did it myself. After sitting in the driver's seat, don't start the engine—just turn the key to the ACC position where the dashboard lights up. Then, focus on the ODO or reset button, press and hold it for about 15 seconds, and usually, the maintenance reminder light will turn off automatically. If this method doesn't work, it might be due to poor button contact or the need for a professional diagnostic tool. Don't worry; just contact a repair shop. After resetting, you'll feel more at ease because you won't be bothered by the flashing light anymore. However, the key is to stick to regular maintenance—changing the oil and filters is crucial for extending the car's lifespan. My QQ has been running well for many years, all thanks to this habit. Remember to perform the operation safely while parked, never while driving.

As a novice car owner dealing with the maintenance light for the first time, I just learned the reset steps for the Chery QQ. Simply put, don't start the engine, turn the key to the ON position to power up the car, just make sure all the dashboard lights are on, then press and hold the ODO button next to the odometer for more than 10 seconds, and the light will go off. If the light doesn't respond, it might be a timer glitch. In this case, don't force it; it's safer to check the user manual or seek help from a 4S shop. After the reset, I feel more comfortable driving, with one less distraction, and it reminds me to check the car regularly, like tire wear or brake fluid. Developing this small habit can prevent major issues and save money and effort. Paying attention to the car's condition is much more reliable than relying on indicator lights.

From an automotive enthusiast's perspective, I've explored the logic behind the Chery QQ maintenance light. It's controlled by the odometer counter. To reset it, turn the key to the ignition-on position without starting the engine, then press and hold the ODO button for about 10-15 seconds to clear the signal. Internally, the system actually refreshes through analog circuit simulation to avoid false alerts. When the light goes off after the operation, it means the maintenance record has restarted – this is when timely oil and filter changes become crucial. I enjoy DIYing such small tasks as they reflect personal control over the vehicle while maintaining engine efficiency and reducing emissions for environmental benefits. The method is simple to try and works across most QQ models.
