As an owner of a 2018 Magotan, I've reset the maintenance light several times myself. Let me briefly share my experience. First, park the car and turn off the engine without starting it, then turn the ignition switch to the position where the dashboard lights up. Next, press and hold the button on the right side of the dashboard (usually located at the lower right corner) for about 5 seconds until the maintenance menu pops up. Find the 'Maintenance Reset' or 'Reset' option in the menu, use the button to select it, and then confirm the execution. Once completed, the indicator light will be cleared. Remember to drive normally after the reset and ensure timely maintenance to avoid missing service intervals, as failing to reset promptly may interfere with normal reminders, leading to unnoticed aging of engine oil or parts. Volkswagen cars are quite smart—just ensure the battery is stable during the reset. The process is simple, carries no risk, and usually takes just a few minutes.

As a DIY car enthusiast, resetting the maintenance reminder for my Magotan feels like performing a fun little magic trick. Turn off the engine, switch on the ignition to power up the dashboard, then press and hold that small button in the lower right corner for a few seconds to access the settings menu. From there, simply select the option to reset the maintenance reminder. The whole process requires no special tools—just the buttons already on your car. I recommend checking the manual to confirm the steps before resetting, as menu locations may vary by model year. After resetting, remember to regularly check fluid levels; it’s not just about clearing the light but also preventing misjudgment of maintenance intervals. If you’ve never done it before, you’ll get the hang of it after trying once.

The Passat maintenance reset is quite practical: turn off the engine, then turn on the ignition without starting the car, press the lower right button on the instrument panel to enter the menu, find the reset option and execute it. The indicator light will be cleared once completed. Resetting ensures the accuracy of reminders, so don’t slack off—stick to the maintenance schedule for peace of mind.
