How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder on Lavida?
2 Answers
To remove the maintenance reminder on Lavida, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the car and shut down the engine; 2. Press and hold the reset button on the dashboard while turning on the ignition; 3. Release the reset button when the maintenance light on the dashboard enters reset mode; 4. Press the menu button once again after releasing the reset button to complete the process. The method may vary slightly depending on the model. Taking the 2017 Lavida as an example, it is a compact sedan under the Volkswagen brand, with a body size of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm.
Last time I encountered the Lavida maintenance reminder light coming on, it was really annoying, but I managed to fix it myself. Remember to first turn off the engine, then press and hold the settings button on the dashboard without releasing it. Turn the key to the 'on' position but don't start the engine. Wait for about five or six seconds until you see the warning light flash a few times and then go off, then you can release the button. If you're unsure about the exact steps, checking your vehicle's manual for your specific model year or watching online tutorial videos would be safer. Resetting it yourself is quite convenient—it can prevent being prematurely talked into unnecessary maintenance at repair shops and save you money. But never forget to get the actual maintenance done on time at a proper service center, because when the reminder light comes on, it's telling you that the engine oil needs changing or parts need checking. Delaying too long can cause engine damage—safety first. It's advisable to manually reset the reminder after each maintenance to keep the alerts accurate.
