How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder on a Volkswagen Vehicle?

Method to remove the maintenance reminder on a Volkswagen vehicle: First, turn off the car's ignition. Then, press and hold the 0.0 SET button on the right side of the dashboard with your left hand. While holding the button, turn on the ignition switch, then release and press the button once more. Finally, turn off the ignition switch and then turn it back on, and the maintenance reminder will be removed. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, with models such as the Sagitar, Magotan, and Lavida. Taking the Lavida as an example: it is a sedan produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height.
Last time I took my Golf for maintenance, the technician taught me how to manually reset the service reminder. First, turn off the engine, press and hold the reset button on the instrument panel without releasing it, then turn the key to the ignition-on position without starting the engine. At this point, the reset menu will pop up on the instrument panel. Use the button to select the service reset, confirm it, then turn off and restart the engine. This method works for my car's model year, but I heard the new Tiguan requires adjustment through the steering wheel menu. If the button doesn't respond after pressing for a while, the timing of the steps might be off. Make sure the maintenance has just been completed before resetting; otherwise, resetting the reminder but missing the actual maintenance could cause problems. Resetting the service reminder is essentially zeroing the system's counter, making it recalculate the mileage and time. If you really can't figure it out, ask the dealership technician to clear it with their computer during the next service—they can do it in thirty seconds.
