3 Answers
To cancel the immediate maintenance reminder for the Magotan, follow these five steps: 1. Press the one-touch start button to start the vehicle; otherwise, the reminder cannot be cleared. 2. Press the SET button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel. 3. The menu settings will be displayed on the instrument panel. 4. Press the OFF button on the center console to turn off the maintenance reminder. 5. Press the OK button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel, and the maintenance reminder will be cleared. Below is some additional information about the Magotan: The Magotan uses SM-grade or higher 5W-30 synthetic engine oil. The selected engine oil must meet the VW50200 standard. Additionally, high-quality unleaded gasoline that complies with the GB17930 standard must be used. Therefore, engine oils that meet the VW50400 and VW50700 standards are not suitable for use in China. Engine oil is a critical factor affecting engine performance and lifespan. The vehicle is factory-filled with a specialized high-quality multi-grade viscosity oil, which can be used year-round except in extremely cold climates.
Last time I drove my Magotan, that little wrench icon kept popping up—super annoying. I figured out a pretty reliable method: first, turn off the engine and cut all power, then press and hold the round SET button on the right side of the dashboard without letting go. Next, turn the key to the power-on position but don’t start the engine. At this point, the maintenance reminder will flash on the dashboard—keep holding the SET button for another few dozen seconds until the ‘Service Now’ message disappears on its own before releasing. Just a heads-up: the steps might vary slightly depending on the model year. Mine’s a 2020. After you’re done, remember to check the dipstick. If you can’t get it to work, record a video and ask in the car owners’ group.
My new car kept popping up maintenance reminders just half a year after purchase. I figured out how to cancel it by long-pressing a specific button combination on the steering wheel. The key is: after starting the car (without ignition), navigate to the 'Maintenance Cycle' option in the vehicle settings menu to reset it – this makes the alerts disappear. Important: never attempt this while driving, as the flashing dashboard can be distracting. Once, the reminder reappeared the next day after resetting, and I discovered the dealership had set the maintenance interval too short. Later, I used a 5053 cable to adjust the parameters myself, and the issue never recurred.
