How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Volkswagen Bora?

Method to reset the maintenance light on a Volkswagen Bora: 1. Turn on the ignition; 2. Hold down the reset button with your left hand and turn off the ignition with your right hand; 3. Continue holding the reset button until the dashboard display turns off, then release the button; 4. Restart the vehicle and check if the reset was successful. The Bora is a classic model under the Volkswagen brand, with dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. In terms of appearance, the new Bora features Volkswagen's family-style front grille design, with multi-layered headlights adopting a wing-shaped design for a strong three-dimensional effect. The rear design has undergone changes in contour and light clusters compared to the current model, and the body lines are significantly different, becoming more streamlined. It also comes with a newly designed aluminum alloy wheel style.
Last time I reset the maintenance light on my Bora by myself using the classic method: First, turn off the ignition and remove the key, then locate the small round button on the instrument panel (marked with 0.0 or SET). Press and hold it firmly with one finger. Next, turn the key to the ON position (without starting the engine) until the dashboard lights up. At this point, the maintenance reminder will pop up on the screen. Keep holding the button for about 20 seconds until the odometer displays dashes or a new maintenance mileage count, and you're done. I've studied the principle behind this—the maintenance light is essentially a timer in the car's computer. After resetting, it starts counting down from 5,000 or 10,000 km again. Once, I released the button too early and the reset failed, so I had to start over. I recommend finding a quiet place to do this carefully.
