2 Answers
The steps to reset the maintenance light for a 2017 Volkswagen Magotan are as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch. 2. Press and hold the "0.0" button on the instrument panel. 3. Turn on the ignition switch while keeping the "0.0" button pressed. 4. When the message "Confirm to reset the maintenance service data?" appears on the instrument panel display, release the "0.0" button. 5. Press the "0.0" button once again to confirm. Additional information about the Volkswagen Magotan includes: 1. The maintenance schedule for the Volkswagen Magotan lists maintenance intervals from 5,000 km to 80,000 km, along with the corresponding maintenance items and costs. Key maintenance items include engine oil replacement, transmission fluid replacement, spark plug replacement, air filter replacement, and cabin air filter replacement. 2. Not all of these items are replaced during every maintenance service; replacement depends on their service life.
Last time I drove my 2017 Magotan, I encountered the issue of the maintenance reminder light staying on. Actually, it's quite simple to reset, the key is to remember the correct steps. I would first park the car in a safe place, turn off the engine to let it cool down a bit, then sit in the driver's seat. The usual method is like this: Don't start the engine yet, turn the key to the ON position but don't start it. Then press and hold the small 0.0 button on the dashboard. You'll see the maintenance message flash for a few seconds, about 5 seconds or so, and when the screen shows the reset is successful, you can release the button. If this doesn't work, check if the doors are properly closed, or try repeating the steps a few times. Why is it important to reset the reminder regularly? Because it alerts us when it's time to change the oil or perform maintenance, ignoring it could affect the car's lifespan. I've noticed many people take the easy way out by simply resetting the reminder without actually doing the maintenance, which can lead to potential issues. It's best to schedule an appointment with a 4S shop or a professional mechanic as soon as possible after each reset. The whole operation is pretty quick, just a minute or two, but safety first—don't do it while driving.
