How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder on a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
The method to remove the maintenance reminder on a Volkswagen is: 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 the reminder. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Lavida Comfort Edition as an example, it is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The 2021 Volkswagen Lavida Comfort Edition is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
As someone who has owned several Volkswagen cars, I often reset the maintenance reminder myself. The method is quite simple: First, park the car and turn off the engine, but leave the key in the ignition. Then, press and hold the trip reset button on the dashboard (usually a small cylinder or dot) without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ON position, where all dashboard lights are on but the engine is not started. Wait for about five seconds, and you'll see the maintenance reminder disappear from the screen or hear a beep. At this point, release the button. The steps are similar for different models like the Golf or Polo, but there might be slight adjustments depending on the year; the manual usually provides instructions. If it doesn't work, it might be because the button wasn't pressed properly or there's a system issue. Avoid random attempts to prevent affecting the circuit, and it's safer to have it checked at a 4S shop. This operation ensures the reminder functions properly to prompt timely maintenance, which is crucial for extending the car's lifespan. Regular maintenance is key.
