Volkswagen Maintenance Indicator Reset: 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; within 3 seconds, press and hold the odometer hour reset button for about 3 seconds, and the reminder message will be completely cleared. Below is some related information about Volkswagen: 1. Volkswagen (German: Volkes-Wagenwerk), meaning 'the people's car,' has undergone several changes in its logo history. The VW in the car logo stands for the first letters of its full name. The logo consists of three 'V's made with the middle and index fingers, symbolizing the company and its products' victory-victory-victory. 2. The Volkswagen CC is a standard coupe, perfectly combining the stability of a sedan with the agility of a sports car. It features a 4-door design, offering comfort and dynamism; the interior has a distinct sporty style, continuing the high-end business sedan series' design of Volkswagen. The high-quality leather sports seats and the leather smart sports steering wheel highlight the CC's characteristics of speed and dynamism. Additionally, the Volkswagen CC is equipped with many high-tech features, providing drivers and passengers with a convenient and comfortable driving experience.
I've been driving my Volkswagen for years and I'm quite familiar with resetting the service light. First, park your car and turn off the ignition, then remove the key. Look for the small button on the dashboard, usually labeled 'Trip' or '0.0'—some models have it near the speedometer. Press and hold it, then turn the key to the ON position (where all dashboard lights come on but the engine doesn't start). Keep holding the button for 5 to 10 seconds until the service indicator flashes and disappears—sometimes the screen will show a 'Reset Successful' message. Then release the button, and you're done. Last time I forgot to do this, the light kept flashing, which was really annoying. Remember, the service light is there to remind you about oil changes and other maintenance, so after resetting, get your car serviced right away—don't slack off. Different model years may vary; older VWs can be reset directly with the button, while newer models (2020 and later) might require using the steering wheel buttons to access the onboard menu for resetting. To be safe, check your manual or ask an experienced friend to avoid damaging the system with incorrect steps. Regular maintenance saves you headaches and money—I often handle these small details myself.
