Function of the Volkswagen Reset Button?
2 Answers
The function of the Volkswagen reset button is to reset the information on the car's dashboard information center, except for the total mileage. Taking the Volkswagen Lavida as an example, the following is a specific introduction to the Lavida: 1. Interior: High-end models feature ambient lighting design. Depending on the model configuration, the Lavida comes with ACC adaptive cruise control, an 8-inch central control screen, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, air filtration, seat heating, electronic parking brake, and automatic parking assist. 2. Powertrain: The Lavida is equipped with two engines, a 1.5L and a 1.4T, both belonging to the EA211 series. The maximum power outputs are 85kW (116PS) and 110kW (150PS) respectively, with peak torques of 150N·m and 250N·m. The 1.5L engine is a new model, replacing the previous 1.6L engine, with a combined fuel consumption as low as 5.5L per 100km. In terms of transmission, the 1.5L engine is paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, while the 1.4T engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving Volkswagen cars for several years, and the reset button is a small tool I frequently use, mainly for resetting information on the dashboard. For example, the trip counters Trip A or Trip B—every time I refuel, I hold it down for two to three seconds to reset the current mileage and recalculate the average fuel consumption or time. This is very convenient for monitoring consumption on different road sections. Additionally, for some models, when the maintenance reminder light comes on, correctly operating the reset button can clear it, informing the system that the service has been completed—but only if the maintenance was indeed performed. I’ve seen friends mistakenly think it can fix faulty car lights, but in reality, it only clears data and doesn’t resolve mechanical issues. With a bit of practice in daily use, you can quickly get the hang of it and avoid mistakes. Overall, this button makes managing driving data more flexible, enhancing the driving experience, especially on long trips where it saves a lot of hassle. I recommend new car owners check the manual to customize their reset habits.
