How to Reset the Immediate Maintenance Reminder on a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
To reset the immediate maintenance reminder on a Volkswagen, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the engine, press and hold the trip odometer reset button located below the tachometer; 2. Turn the ignition to the ON position, release the trip odometer reset button, and the SERVICE indicator will appear. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right to display the mileage; 3. Turn off the engine to reset the reminder message, then turn the ignition to the ON position again, and the SERVICE indicator will disappear. For example, the Volkswagen CC has body dimensions of 4817mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1417mm in height, and is a sporty sedan under the FAW-Volkswagen brand.
VW owners must have all seen that annoying maintenance reminder light. Last time I managed to reset it myself, here's how: First, don't start the engine, press and hold the small square reset button on the instrument panel, then turn the key to the ignition-on position (where the dashboard lights up), keep holding the button until the English prompt for resetting maintenance data appears on the screen before releasing. Wait a few seconds, and the reminder will disappear. If the light stays on after the operation, it might be due to poor contact with the reset button or you did it too quickly. The procedure is basically the same for older VW models and the CC, but remember to still get maintenance done on time next time—this just temporarily clears the reminder light.
