The method to reset the maintenance light on a Chery vehicle is as follows: 1. With the engine turned off, press and hold the short-distance trip counter reset button located below the tachometer. 2. Turn the ignition to the ON position, then release the short-distance trip counter reset button. The display will show the "SERVICE" indicator. 3. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right. The odometer reading will appear on the display. 4. Turn off the engine to reset the reminder message. 5. Turn the ignition to the ON position again, and the maintenance light will disappear. Chery's automotive brands include: Chery, Karry, Cowin, Qoros, Rely, and Riich.
I've been driving my Chery for nearly a decade, and resetting the maintenance light myself is the most convenient method. First, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine to power up the dashboard. Then press the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel several times to navigate to the maintenance settings interface—you'll see the reminder icon flashing. Next, press and hold the multifunction button for about five seconds without releasing until the light goes off. If you can't manage it, check the manual in the glove box as button locations vary by model. A word of caution: make sure your car has actually undergone maintenance before resetting the light, otherwise skipping the proper maintenance schedule could harm the engine. In winter when the car's cold, keep your hands steady and press the buttons firmly—it'll work for sure.
