The method to reset the maintenance reminder for Kaiyi X3 is: After turning off the power, hold down the OK button on the steering wheel, then press the start button twice in succession (without starting the engine), and release the OK button after about 3-5 seconds, the indicator will disappear. More details are as follows: 1. As driving time increases, the wear and tear of internal components in the vehicle will gradually become more severe. To ensure the car operates normally, manufacturers have set up reminder indicators. After reaching a certain mileage, owners should promptly replace the components. After successful replacement, the maintenance reminder light needs to be reset. 2. The function of the light is to record the usage mileage of some important components, much like a timer in a sprint race, serving as a reminder for both the car owner and maintenance personnel. 3. Many car owners reset the corresponding maintenance reminder light after replacing car components, which is an official recommendation and something many owners are willing to do. If the owner replaces the relevant components but does not reset the light, it will not affect the vehicle's performance, but it may cause trouble for the next component replacement: it will be difficult to accurately know the usage time of the new components. 4. The 2017 Kaiyi X3 still uses a 1.6L-DVVT engine, with a maximum power of 93 kW and a maximum torque of 160 N·m. Its characteristic of high torque at low speeds makes it suitable for stop-and-go urban road conditions. Especially when overtaking or changing lanes, there's no need to deliberately increase the engine speed to quickly gain power, which not only makes driving more effortless but also helps reduce fuel consumption.
I've been driving for ten years and am familiar with various car models. The maintenance reset method for the Kaiyi X3 is quite common. First, turn off the ignition switch and ensure the car is completely shut down. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ON position to light up the dashboard lights but do not start the engine. At this point, watch the maintenance indicator light—it will flash a few times and then disappear after about 5-10 seconds. Release the button, and you're done. The first time I tried it, I was impatient and released the button too early, causing the light to come back on. Later, I learned that you need to wait until it stabilizes for it to work. The maintenance reset is an important reminder for upkeep, but don’t rely solely on it. Change the oil on time, and regularly check the brakes and tire wear to ensure a long vehicle lifespan and safe driving. I recommend saving an electronic version of the manual on your phone for easy reference to details, as the button location on the Kaiyi X3 might vary slightly by year. Doing it yourself more often can save a lot of money and hassle.
