How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder in Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Here are the methods to remove the maintenance reminder in Volkswagen cars: 1. After turning off the car, press and hold the set button on the right side of the dashboard; 2. Turn on the ignition, release the set button, and press it again to cancel. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Lavida Comfort Edition as an example, here are some related details: 1. The Volkswagen Lavida is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, 1474mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. 2. The 2021 Volkswagen Lavida Comfort Edition is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I remember that time when I was driving my wife's Volkswagen Golf, and the maintenance reminder was driving me crazy. I tried to reset it myself, and the method was pretty straightforward: First, turn off the ignition, making sure the engine isn't running; then press and hold that small button on the dashboard—I think it's the "0.0" button—and keep holding it; next, turn the key to the ignition-on position (self-check mode) and hold it for a few seconds. You'll see the warning light blink or disappear; finally, release the button, turn off the ignition, and restart the car. If successful, the reminder will be gone. If it doesn't work, maybe the steps weren't followed correctly, or the method varies for different model years—newer Volkswagens might require using the infotainment menu. After resetting it, things were much easier, but I should remind you that the warning is actually helpful—it ensures you don't neglect maintenance. Don't ignore real issues, like oil leaks; you might still need a mechanic. Regular maintenance can prevent major repairs. As an experienced driver, I think it's good to check the systems before every drive.
