How to reset the maintenance light on Volkswagen Skoda?
2 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance light on Volkswagen Skoda is: 1. Turn off the ignition switch; 2. Press and hold the 0.0 button below the instrument panel; 3. Turn on the ignition switch while holding the 0.0 button until the maintenance service prompt appears on the instrument panel, then release the button; 4. Press the 0.0 button once more to complete the reset. Skoda's models include Kamiq, Superb, Karoq, Rapid, and Kodiaq. Taking the 2020 Kamiq as an example, it belongs to the small SUV category with body dimensions of: length 4390mm, width 1781mm, height 1593mm, wheelbase 2610mm, fuel tank capacity 55l, trunk capacity 463l, and curb weight 1270kg.
As a Skoda Octavia owner, I find the maintenance light reset quite simple. I managed to do it myself last time. Here's the method: First, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine; then look at the dashboard, press and hold the right multifunction button for a few seconds to enter the setup menu; next navigate to the service option, find the maintenance reset item, and press the confirm button to select; after completion, start the engine and the light should go off. The whole process takes just a minute or two. I used this on my 2019 model - other Skodas like the Superb or Kodiaq might be slightly different, so it's best to check the manual for details. I usually do regular minor maintenance, so after resetting, it accurately records the next service time and avoids that annoying flashing light while driving. The key is not to panic during operation - if you accidentally trigger other settings, just start over.
