How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a 2020 Sagitar?
3 Answers
Turn off the ignition switch to ensure the vehicle is powered down. Press and hold the "0.0" button on the instrument panel. While turning on the ignition switch, continue holding the "0.0" button without releasing it. Pay attention to the information display on the instrument panel. When text appears on the display, release the "0.0" button. Below is an introduction to the Sagitar: 1. Introduction: The Sagitar is a joint-venture A+ class sedan brand under FAW-Volkswagen. The vehicle was introduced to the Chinese market on April 9, 2006, with its predecessor being the fifth-generation Volkswagen Jetta sedan from Germany. It is positioned as a German high-performance sedan. 2. Features: In November 2020, the 2021 Sagitar was officially launched. This model is an annual facelift, with the entire lineup adding features such as car networking and an 8.0-inch color LCD instrument panel. 3. Highlights: The most striking feature at the rear of the car is the two taillights on either side. The Sagitar series adopts higher-cost but longer-lasting LED taillights, which offer stronger light penetration and are more eye-catching, providing better warning effects at night.
I just did this myself last month! First, sit in the driver's seat without starting the ignition, press and hold the 0.0 button at the lower right corner of the dashboard (don't release it), and use your other hand to turn the key to power on (no need to start the engine). When text prompts appear on the dashboard, quickly release the button and press the left menu button once. I noticed a detail during my operation: if the mileage wasn't reset after the last maintenance, you might need to repeat the process twice. The whole procedure shouldn't take more than 10 seconds, otherwise it's easy to fail and have to start over. After completing it, remember to start the engine to check if the warning light has actually turned off. Some car owners reported failures due to not closing the door properly or not fastening the seatbelt.
Last time at the shop, I picked up a simplified method: With the engine off, hold the reset button on the dashboard (the one with the small wrench symbol). Turn the ignition on but don't start the engine. When the screen starts flashing, quickly release the button and press the confirmation key on the left side of the steering wheel. Our veteran auto repair technician specifically warned that for the new Sagitar, a battery voltage stabilizer must be used, otherwise it might affect the ECU. If you're too quick and it fails, don't panic—just disconnect the negative battery terminal, wait five minutes, and reconnect it. This is essentially rebooting the ECU. This method is more reliable than button pressing, but you'll need a 10mm wrench ready.
