How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder on an Old Polo?
2 Answers
Method to remove the maintenance reminder on an old Polo: 1. With the engine turned off, press the instrument operation button on the steering wheel; 2. Start the engine and observe whether the maintenance wrench icon on the dashboard disappears. The old Polo is a compact car with body dimensions of 4053mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2564mm. In terms of appearance, the old Polo features a U-shaped front face design, with dynamic and clean lines. The headlight assembly, based on a geometric trapezoid, is embedded on the front face, along with internally staggered light combinations.
Old Polo owners must be familiar with that annoying wrench icon. I've manually reset it several times myself. The most common method is: insert the car key and turn it to the power-on position (without starting the engine), press and hold the trip reset button below the dashboard, then turn off the power (don't remove the key). At this point, the dashboard will display a countdown number or prompt message. Continue holding the button until the number resets and disappears. Note that the vehicle must be on level ground with the handbrake engaged during this operation. This method works for most pre-2009 classic four-eyed Polos. However, if there's no response after several attempts, the setting parameters may have changed, requiring a diagnostic tool to rematch the maintenance interval. Actually, after resetting, it's best to note down the next maintenance date yourself – the computer reminder is just an auxiliary tool after all.
