How to Eliminate the Maintenance Reminder in Octavia?

When the maintenance reminder appears in Octavia, follow these steps to clear it: 1. Turn off the engine and shut down the car; 2. Press and hold the trip reset button, then turn on the ignition without starting the engine; 3. Rotate clockwise once, then turn off the ignition; 4. Start the car to check. The maintenance reminder is usually represented by a small wrench symbol. In vehicles, the standard distance for the first maintenance is typically around 5,000 kilometers. Subsequent maintenance intervals depend on the type of oil used in each car. For conventional oil, maintenance is generally required every 5,000 kilometers. The Octavia's body dimensions are 4675mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2686mm.

Friends who drive the Octavia must have seen that little wrench icon pop up on the dashboard, right? I've dealt with it several times myself—super easy. When you get in the car, don’t press the brake pedal. First, press the start button twice to power up the dashboard. Once the wrench appears, quickly press and hold the small button at the bottom right of the dashboard. After a few seconds, the warning will disappear, and a progress bar will start running. Just wait for it to finish, then release the button. Remember, don’t press the brake or start the engine during the process. If it fails, just repeat the steps. This method works like a charm for older models. Oh, and after resetting it yourself, it’s best to check the dipstick—just because the maintenance reminder is gone doesn’t mean the car is in perfect condition. Regular checks give you peace of mind.

Last time, my colleague's Octavia showed a maintenance reminder, and I helped him reset it. The core operation is just three steps: power on the vehicle to the instrument self-check state; hold the 0.0/SET button on the right side of the dashboard for about 10 seconds; release when the screen flashes the prompt. Note that for older models, don't release before the progress bar completes, while newer models may have slightly different prompts. It's recommended to perform this immediately after maintenance to avoid pop-up distractions while driving. Actually, the dealership's computer can also reset it, but isn't it great to get it done yourself in 30 seconds? After resetting, it's advisable to check the oil life and top up any consumption promptly.

Just helped my cousin reset the maintenance reminder on his Octavia, and it worked perfectly. Open the car door, press the start button twice to power on, and wait for the maintenance icon to appear on the dashboard. Then, press and hold the raised circular button on the right side of the dashboard. After about five seconds, you'll hear a beep—keep holding the button until the screen displays 'Confirm Reset' before releasing. Note that the button position may vary slightly depending on the model year, but it's generally the physical button on the right side. A friendly reminder: If you reset without changing the oil, the next maintenance interval won't be accurate, so it's best to perform this after replacing the engine oil.
