3 Answers
The steps to clear the maintenance reminder for the 2018 Tiguan L are: 1. Turn off the ignition switch; 2. Press and hold the "0.0" button on the instrument panel; 3. Turn on the ignition switch while keeping the "0.0" button pressed with your left hand; 4. When a message appears on the instrument panel display, release the "0.0" button. Taking the Tiguan L 2018 330TSI Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Fashion Edition as an example: It is a mid-size SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4712mm, 1839mm, and 1673mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
Brothers driving the Volkswagen Tiguan L, if you want to clear the maintenance reminder by yourself, you can try this method: First, get in the car but don't start the engine, hold down the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel without releasing it, wait about ten seconds, then turn the key to the power-on position. When the dashboard lights up, a setup interface will pop up. At this point, find the maintenance section, select the reset option, and confirm. If the operation is unsuccessful, it's likely that the last maintenance wasn't fully reset or the system is stuck. Turn off the power and try again, remembering not to start the engine, just power it on. Manual reset isn't difficult, but it's safer to go to a regular shop for the next maintenance.
I've handled maintenance reminder issues for many Volkswagen models. The operation logic for the 2018 Tiguan L is actually quite simple: With the vehicle completely powered off, first press and hold both the volume button and the return button on the right side of the steering wheel for about 5 seconds. Then, while keeping the brake pedal depressed, press the start button to put the vehicle into self-check mode (do not start the engine). A warning light will flash on the central dashboard. At this point, use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the maintenance information section, and long-press the confirm button to reset. The key points are to pay attention to the button sequence and vehicle state - getting these wrong may cause dashboard errors. After resetting, start the vehicle and check if the wrench icon appears on the dashboard. If it doesn't, the reset was successful.
