After starting the vehicle's power, press the button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch between different menus until the dashboard displays temperature and tire pressure.

As someone who frequently handles vehicle maintenance, I know the standard procedure to reset the maintenance light on a 2020 Tiggo 8 is: Operate when the vehicle is completely turned off, press and hold the TRIP or odometer reset button on the dashboard without releasing, then turn the ignition switch to the ON position without starting the engine. Maintain this for 10-15 seconds, and the maintenance light will flash and turn off, indicating a successful reset. The reason behind this is that the maintenance light is based on preset mileage timing and requires manual operation to confirm that maintenance has been completed. Regular checks of oil and filters help prevent minor issues, but failing to clear the maintenance light promptly can lead to false alerts. If this method doesn’t work, it’s advisable to check the dashboard settings menu for a reset option. Alternatively, if there are software version differences in the vehicle, it’s best to consult a professional mechanic, as they have diagnostic tools to handle it easily.

From my early days of driving old cars to now using the Tiggo 8, resetting the maintenance light has become a habitual action: park and turn off the engine, press and hold the reset button on the dashboard, turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine, and patiently wait for 15 seconds until the light goes off. The essence of the maintenance light is a mileage reminder device; it must be reset after an oil change or filter replacement to prevent false alarms. Experience has taught me that neglecting maintenance accelerates mechanical wear. Regular maintenance plus this simple operation can make your beloved car more durable, with low cost and high efficiency.

As a family car owner, resetting the maintenance light is part of ensuring safe driving: After parking and turning off the engine, hold down the reset button on the dashboard, turn the ignition on without starting the car, and the light will go off after a while, indicating success. This light reminds you to service the engine promptly, affecting vehicle performance and reliability; don't let warning lights distract you during family trips. If the operation fails, ask an experienced friend or visit a service station for inspection.

In our Tiggo car owners forum, discussions about resetting the maintenance light are quite common: With the vehicle in the off state, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard, turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine, and the light will automatically reset after more than 10 seconds. Many have tried this method with success, as it's designed by the manufacturer for manual reset. Performing more pre-checks when the vehicle is in good condition can extend component lifespan and prevent sudden breakdowns.
