Methods to remove the maintenance reminder in Octavia: 1. Turn off the ignition switch; 2. Press and hold the SET button on the dashboard; 3. Turn on the ignition switch while keeping the SET button pressed; 4. Press the SET button again to confirm; 5. Check if the maintenance light has been reset. If not, start over from the beginning. The Octavia is available in two body styles: the estate version and the sedan version. The estate version measures 4687mm in length, 1814mm in width, 1509mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2686mm; the sedan version measures 4675mm in length, 1814mm in width, 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2686mm.
I've been driving my Skoda Octavia for several years, and the maintenance reminder light keeps flashing on the dashboard, which is a bit annoying. The first time I encountered it, I asked a mechanic, and he said the easiest way is to hold down the small button on the dashboard for a few seconds after turning off the car, without releasing it, until the reminder light goes off. The specific button may vary by model year—older Octavia models require holding the trip reset button, while newer ones might need using the steering wheel buttons to access the menu and select 'Reset Service.' Actually, this little operation is quite simple, but I recommend doing it after completing the maintenance. Otherwise, the car will keep reminding you that you haven't changed the oil or something, which could affect safety. The maintenance reminder is a good feature, helping owners remember to change oil and check brakes on time, saving money and hassle. It's always good to check the owner's manual or ask an expert rather than randomly unplugging things to avoid damaging the circuits.
