How to Cancel the Maintenance Reminder on Volkswagen Cars?
2 Answers
Methods to cancel the maintenance reminder on Volkswagen cars: 1. Turn off the ignition switch, then hold down the odometer hour reset button while turning on the ignition switch. After ignition, the reminder message will still be displayed; 2. Within 3 seconds, hold down the odometer hour reset button for approximately 3 seconds, and the reminder message will be completely cleared. Taking the Volkswagen Passat as an example, it is a mid-size car under SAIC Volkswagen. The car has a length, width, and height of 4933 mm, 1836 mm, and 1469 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2871 mm. In terms of power, the Volkswagen Passat is equipped with a turbocharged engine, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a maximum power of 110 kW.
Having driven Volkswagens for over a decade, I often handle the maintenance reminder reset myself. The method is: start the engine but don't drive, then press and hold the reset button on the dashboard—usually that small round button—for about five seconds until the screen prompt disappears. Operations vary slightly between models; I've driven both Golf and the new Tiguan. Older models are simpler, while newer ones require menu navigation. DIY saves time and money, avoiding dealership queues and saving nearly 200 yuan for a fuel refill. Remember: maintenance alerts exist for scheduled upkeep—change oil promptly or check brakes. Don't just reset and neglect, or engine aging accelerates. Always verify details in the owner's manual or online videos to avoid accidental system locks.
