I've been driving my Golf 7 for quite a while, and when the maintenance reminder light comes on, it's important to clear it promptly, otherwise the dashboard keeps flashing which is quite annoying. The steps aren't complicated: first, turn off the engine and make sure the car is stationary, then press and hold the small reset button on the dashboard without releasing it, next turn the key to the power-on position but don't start the engine. Wait until the words 'maintenance reset' appear on the screen, then release the button and press the confirm key to finish. I always do this during regular maintenance, and the car has run for more than five years without any problems. I remind everyone not to be lazy and skip this step, as regularly clearing the reminder can help you focus better while driving. Also, remember to check the fluids and such, keeping the car in good condition makes long-distance trips more reassuring.

Clearing the maintenance reminder on the Golf 7 is crucial, as failing to do so may lead to false fault alarms that can be alarming. The specific steps are: After turning off the engine, press and hold the reset button while turning the ignition to the second position (do not start the engine). Wait for the prompt message to flash, then release the button and confirm. I often handle it this way to prevent system misjudgments that could affect driving safety. Once you make it a habit, take the opportunity to check tire pressure and brake fluid condition to prevent minor issues. Regular simple maintenance can extend your car's lifespan and save on repair costs.
