2 Answers
To remove the maintenance reminder on a Volkswagen Polo, follow these steps: First, insert the key into the ignition. 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 position for approximately one minute, and the maintenance reminder will be cleared. The Volkswagen Polo is a model under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 3970mm in length, 1682mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2470mm. The Polo features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 83kW and a maximum torque of 145Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Resetting the maintenance reminder on a Volkswagen Polo is actually quite simple. I've been driving this car for several years and have to reset it after every service. Here's how: First, turn the key to the OFF position to ensure the engine is completely shut down. Then locate the small button at the bottom right of the instrument cluster labeled '0.0' or 'SET' – its exact position may vary slightly depending on the model year but it's generally in that area. Hold this button down without releasing it, then slowly turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine – you'll see the dashboard lights come on but the car won't move. Keep holding the button for about 5 to 10 seconds; usually a small progress bar will flash or the warning light will go out to confirm the reset is complete. After that, release the button and restart the car to check if the reminder is gone. It might feel a bit clumsy the first few times you try it, but don't worry – just practice a couple times. The important thing is to reset it promptly after maintenance so the reminder light doesn't annoy you all day. I recommend keeping the owner's manual handy for reference and developing a regular maintenance check habit to keep your car running longer.
