What is the method to reset the maintenance light on the Jianghuai M3?

The maintenance light can be reset using any of the following three methods: 1. Use a computer to eliminate it by resetting the maintenance time and mileage with a decoder. 2. Insert the key into the ignition lock without turning it, press and hold the button on the combination instrument panel, turn the key to the second position (ACC, the whole vehicle is powered on), keep pressing for 10 seconds, and the wrench symbol on the instrument panel will disappear, indicating that the maintenance reminder light has been reset. 3. Zero the maintenance light using the reset button on the instrument panel. Turn off the key and hold the button on the instrument panel without releasing it, then turn on the key and hold for 3 seconds before releasing.
To reset the maintenance light on the JAC M3, the method is actually quite simple, and I often do it myself. First, don't start the engine, just turn the key to the ON position to power up the dashboard. Then press and hold the ODO button on the dashboard for about 5 to 10 seconds until you see the indicator light flash or turn off. Next, turn off the key and start the engine to check if the light is still on. This operation is to reset the maintenance reminder system, which reminds us to regularly change the oil and other things. The appearance of the maintenance light is because the vehicle's computer is set based on mileage or time. Not maintaining it on time can affect the engine's lifespan, such as sludge buildup leading to loud noise or reduced power. If you accidentally make a mistake, it may damage the circuit, so it's best to try it under the supervision of a professional. Every time I do this, I note down the date to make it easier to schedule the next maintenance. Remember to press the button firmly but not too hard to avoid damaging the plastic parts. Developing a good habit of keeping maintenance logs can help avoid frequent problems.
I found resetting the JAC M3 maintenance reminder light isn't difficult. For regular drivers like me, it's just a few steps. First, turn the ignition to ON position without starting the engine, then hold the ODO button for a few seconds until the light goes off. Turn off the ignition, restart the car to confirm the indicator is gone - that's it. This light reminds us to perform routine maintenance like oil changes or filter replacements. Ignoring it may lead to increased fuel consumption or engine noise. Before resetting, it's wise to verify if the maintenance was actually done, otherwise you're just fooling yourself. The button is located on the right side of the instrument panel - operate it while seated steadily. If unsure about the button location, check the owner's manual. Paying attention to these indicator lights during daily driving and forming good habits can extend vehicle lifespan. My car's three years old now, requiring reset every 10,000 km - quite hassle-free actually.
