Can Volkswagen eliminate the vehicle condition inspection reminder?

Volkswagen can eliminate the vehicle condition inspection reminder. Below is a detailed introduction about Volkswagen: 1. Overview: Volkswagen (German: Volkswagen) is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, and is the core enterprise of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's four major automobile manufacturers. 'Volks' in German means 'people,' and 'Wagen' means 'car,' so the full name translates to 'people's car,' often abbreviated as 'VW.' 2. Models: Main models include the Volkswagen Polo-GTI, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen EOS sports car, Volkswagen CC, Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Phaeton, Volkswagen Audi, Volkswagen Lavida, Volkswagen Sagitar, etc.
My friend's Volkswagen also has this issue where the maintenance reminder keeps popping up. Actually, Volkswagen cars can be manually reset. For older models, turn the key to the ignition-on position but don't start the engine, then press and hold the 0.0 button on the right side of the dashboard until the screen shows a prompt before releasing it, and the maintenance data will be cleared. For newer models, use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to find the settings, go to the maintenance section, and select reset. However, it's important to note that clearing the reminder doesn't mean you can skip maintenance. You still need to change the oil and oil filter on time, or you risk damaging the engine, which would be a big loss. If you can't clear it yourself, just ask the service center to do it quickly during your maintenance visit.
Every time after maintenance, the shop resets the reminder for me. Later, I figured out it's quite simple to do it myself using the steering wheel buttons. With the engine off, long-press the CAR button to enter the menu, select vehicle settings, find the maintenance item, and press the reset option a few times. For some older models, you need to turn on the ignition with the key and hold the trip reset button for about ten seconds until the reminder disappears. But there are two things to keep in mind: first, some cars require a computer connection to completely clear the reminder; second, before doing it yourself, make sure the vehicle alert is for maintenance due rather than an actual fault code. It's best to check the manual for the method corresponding to your model or ask your regular mechanic to be safe.
