Last time when I got a minor maintenance for my 2018 Magotan, the mechanic taught me how to reset the maintenance reminder. The process was quite simple: First, turn off the engine and make sure the car is stationary. Then, press and hold the 0.0 button on the instrument panel behind the steering wheel without releasing it. Next, turn the key to power on the instrument panel but do not start the engine. Hold the button for about 15 seconds, and the maintenance menu will pop up on the onboard computer screen. Continue holding the button until the reset option appears, then use the adjustment button on the instrument panel to confirm the reset. After the reset is complete, remember to start the car to check if the warning light has turned off. A few people in my car club said they didn't hold the button long enough when trying it themselves and it didn't work, but trying a couple more times should do the trick.
I've owned an 18-year-old Magotan for three years and have reset the maintenance reminder myself three or four times. First, turn off the engine without pressing the brake, then press and hold the button with the reset icon in the lower right corner of the instrument panel. While holding the button, turn the key to the power-on position and wait for the screen to light up. After seeing the maintenance information, continue pressing the button to enter the menu. When you reach the reset prompt, confirm using the arrow keys or scroll wheel on the left side of the steering wheel. A beep sound indicates success. Ensure the battery has power throughout the operation, and don't leave the key in the power-on position for more than five minutes. Volkswagen's digital menu design is quite thoughtful, much more convenient than older cars that require a computer connection.
