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.

How to Remove Car Rust Spots?

Using Toothpaste: The toothpaste you use daily is also a great cleaning tool. You can apply toothpaste to a damp towel (but make sure the towel isn't too wet and needs to be wrung out), then rub back and forth on the rusted area. After cleaning, use another clean damp towel (this towel should also not be too wet and needs to be wrung out) to wipe the area clean before drying it again. This is also a good method for using grease. 2. Using Water Sandpaper: If the rust spots are not very large and the adhesion is not too strong, you can gently sand them with water sandpaper and water. However, if the rust spots are too large and strongly adhered, you will not only need water sandpaper and water to sand the car body but also need to use primer or a touch-up pen to repair the sanded area afterward. 3. Going to a Car Beauty Shop or 4S Store for Cleaning: Some rust stains are very stubborn, and you might be afraid of damaging the car's surface by handling them yourself. Therefore, it's recommended to go to a car beauty shop or 4S store for cleaning.

How to Use the S Gear in Bora?

The method to use the S gear in Bora is to directly push the gear lever into the "S" position while the car is moving. It shifts up slowly and down quickly, providing good power but consuming more fuel. Here are some additional details: 1. S Gear: The S gear is the sports mode of the car ("S" stands for "Sport"). In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time. This allows the car to move at high RPM in lower gears for an extended period, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. 2. Bora: The Bora (Bora) is the first independently designed model by FAW-Volkswagen and is hailed as a new car that "inherits and surpasses the classic." The Bora offers a sense of speed akin to a sports car, with its 1.8T engine capable of accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in just under 9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 221 km/h.
