How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder on Volkswagen Polo?
2 Answers
Method to remove the maintenance reminder on Volkswagen Polo: First, insert the key into the ignition slot. Then, press and hold the trip meter reset button with your left hand while turning the key to the power-on position with your right hand. Maintain this for about one minute, and the maintenance light will be reset. The Volkswagen Polo is a model launched by Shanghai Volkswagen, featuring a sporty and stylish exterior, a relatively heavy body, and good safety. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Polo are 4053mm in length, 1751mm in width, and 1446mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2564mm. The Volkswagen Polo is equipped with a 1.5L EA211-DMB engine, delivering a maximum power of 83 kW, a maximum horsepower of 113 PS, and a maximum torque of 145 Nm.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Polo for many years and found that resetting the maintenance reminder is actually quite simple. First, make sure the vehicle is parked in a safe location without starting the engine. Then, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine—the dashboard will light up. Locate the small button near the steering wheel, usually labeled 0.0 or SET, and press and hold it firmly for a few seconds. The screen may flash a message like RESET SERVICE, and then you can release the button. If nothing happens, it might be due to poor button contact or a different vehicle version—my 2018 Polo failed once, and I later found out it was because the low battery affected the ECU system. I recommend manually resetting this reminder after every service to avoid the light interfering with your driving view. The whole process takes less than two minutes—doing it yourself is safe and saves money. If you're unsure, check the owner's manual or ask a nearby repair shop instead of forcing it to avoid damaging electronic components.
