The method to reset the maintenance light on the Trumpchi GM8: 1. Turn on the ignition switch and select the odometer mode on the dashboard (displaying the total mileage); 2. Turn off the ignition switch, hold down the dashboard button, and turn on the ignition switch at the same time; 3. The odometer screen will display the timing belt maintenance mode, adjust the button to select 15 or 20, then hold down the button to confirm, and turn off the ignition switch; 4. Start the vehicle and check if the dashboard light (TBELT) is off. The Trumpchi GM8 is a business MPV under GAC Trumpchi. In terms of body dimensions, its length, width, and height are 5066mm, 1923mm, and 1822mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3000mm.
A while ago, the maintenance light on my Trumpchi GM8 came on, which was a bit annoying. At first, I didn't know how to reset it and thought I had to waste money at the 4S shop. Later, I checked the manual and found it was actually quite simple: First, make sure the car is turned off and parked in a safe place. Then, locate the small button on the dashboard, usually labeled ODO or TRIP. Press and hold it without releasing, while turning the key to the ACC position (the position just before starting the engine but without igniting it). Count to about 10 seconds, and the maintenance light on the dashboard will start flashing and then turn off, completing the reset. I tried it myself three times, and it worked every time—saving money and hassle. Remember not to rush the operation; holding it too long might accidentally trigger other settings. The maintenance light is a good reminder for regular upkeep, and after resetting, it will light up again when it's time for the next oil change.
