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.

Last time my car's maintenance light came on, I called the dealership and found out I could reset it myself. First, sit in the driver's seat, don't press the brake pedal, and press the start button to illuminate the instrument panel. Then locate the up and down arrow keys in the right control area of the steering wheel, press them a few times to enter the submenu, find the reset option in the settings, and select confirm. For newer Tiggo or Arrizo models, you might need to hold down the OK and back buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. It's best to take a photo of the instrument panel status before operating, so you can restore it in case of a mistake. Actually, the maintenance light is just a timer in the car's computer, and resetting it yourself saves the time of going to the dealership and waiting in line. But remember to check the oil condition every six months to be safe.

Chery maintenance light reset is mainly done through dashboard button combinations. Turn the key to the second position to power on the vehicle, press and hold the small cylindrical button on the right side of the instrument panel for about 10 seconds, then release when the light flashes to complete the reset. For some newer models, use the steering wheel buttons to enter the menu, locate the maintenance option, and select reset confirmation. Be careful not to press the accelerator during operation, and it's safest to perform this on level ground. If repeated attempts fail, it may be because the last maintenance record wasn't entered into the computer, requiring a visit to the repair shop with a diagnostic tool. After resetting the light yourself, it's recommended to set a reminder on your phone to avoid forgetting the next scheduled oil and filter change.

When the maintenance light came on in my Arrizo 5, I spent some time figuring out how to reset it. First, power on the car without starting the engine, then press and hold the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel for three seconds. The instrument cluster will display a settings icon. Use the volume keys to navigate to the maintenance information, then press and hold the adjustment button for five seconds to reset. For some model years, you need to simultaneously press the OK button and the phone button for it to work. Beginners are advised to refer to the manual to identify the correct buttons. If you still can't figure it out, ask the technician to do it during maintenance. Remember to observe for a few days after resetting—sometimes the system has a delay, and the light may come back on, requiring you to repeat the process to completely clear it. Always keep an eye on the mileage and time intervals yourself; don’t rely solely on the indicator light.

What are the uses of winter snow tires for cars?

Winter snow tires for cars can prevent skidding and improve traction. The following is an introduction to the functions of winter snow tires for cars: 1. Anti-skid: Compared with ordinary tires, snow tires increase the friction with snow and ice roads through special formulas, improving the passability and safety on snow and ice roads. 2. Improve traction: (1) The tread material of snow tires is softer. (2) The carefully formulated silica mixed rubber formula can contact the smooth ice surface more closely, thereby generating greater friction than all-season tires, which greatly improves the handling and safety of the vehicle on smooth ice surfaces.

Is 2.0 Tire Pressure Normal?

2.0 tire pressure is too low and may cause tire blowouts. The normal cold tire pressure should be between 2.2~2.5, with 2.5 generally recommended for better fuel efficiency and to ensure the tire pressure stays within the safe range of 3.0 during high-speed driving. Different vehicle models may have varying tire pressure requirements. Below are the functions of car tires: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle: Car tires bear the vehicle's load and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Enhance vehicle performance: Car tires transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road capabilities. They also work with the suspension to absorb shocks and dampen vibrations during driving. 3. Prevent premature damage to vehicle components: Car tires protect vehicle parts from severe vibrations and early damage, adapt to high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What is the difference between a station wagon and an SUV?

Different focus: The station wagon is a type of car that raises the trunk to be level with the roof to increase luggage space, while SUVs primarily focus on sportiness and functionality, emphasizing fast acceleration, high off-road capability, good comfort, and strong towing capacity. 2. Different characteristics: Station wagons are referred to as "wagon." Most station wagons are based on sedans, with the trunk raised to be level with the roof to increase luggage space. SUVs, or Sport Utility Vehicles, combine the functionality of off-road vehicles with the ability to drive in urban areas.
