Here is the tutorial for resetting the Volkswagen maintenance light: 1. First, the vehicle needs to be turned off. 2. Press and hold the "0.0" button on the dashboard, the button location is as shown below. 3. While turning on the ignition, continue holding the "0.0" button without releasing it. 4. Afterwards, text will appear on the instrument information display, at which point we release the "0.0" button. 5. Press the "0.0" button again to confirm (press once). 6. Check if the maintenance light has been reset; if not, the process must be restarted from the beginning. Additional information: The car maintenance light is set based on the vehicle's scheduled maintenance cycle. When the vehicle reaches the mileage for maintenance, the maintenance light will illuminate to remind you to service the vehicle.
It's been almost two years since I got my Volkswagen Teramont, and I still remember the process of resetting the maintenance light clearly. When the light came on, I first sat in the car without starting the engine, just turning on the ignition with the key. There's a button on the right side of the steering wheel—press it a few times to enter the menu, scroll to find 'Settings' or 'Vehicle,' then select 'Maintenance.' Once you see the reset option, hold down the OK button for about 5 seconds, and the light will go off. This method works for most Teramont models and is simple enough that you don't need to visit a dealership. Don’t underestimate this little light; it reminds us to perform regular maintenance to prevent engine carbon buildup or wear. Otherwise, problems might arise later, leading to more costly repairs. After resetting it myself, I felt much more at ease and could focus better while driving.
