Method to clear the maintenance reminder on the Magotan dashboard: 1. With the engine turned off, press the short-distance trip counter reset button located below the tachometer; 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then release the short-distance trip counter reset button; 3. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right, the mileage display will appear on the screen; 4. After entering the mileage display, select reset to complete the process. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with exterior dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Magotan for several years and always handle the maintenance reminder myself whenever it pops up. The basic steps to clear it are: First, park the car and turn off the ignition switch, don't start the engine, just let it completely power down. Then locate the reset button on the steering wheel, usually a small dot or a button labeled 'Reset' on the left control panel. Hold this button down without releasing it, while turning the key to the ACC position, which is the accessory mode, allowing the dashboard to power up without starting the car. At this point, the screen might display the maintenance message and begin a countdown. Keep holding the button for about 5 to 10 seconds until the numbers reset to zero or the prompt disappears. After releasing the button, turn off the key and restart the engine to confirm the reset. This method is quite simple, but remember that actual maintenance is more important; I recommend going for an oil change and tire check immediately after clearing the reminder to prevent minor issues from turning into major problems that could affect daily commuting. A car is just like a person—it needs regular maintenance to run long and well.
