How to Reset the Maintenance Reminder for Volkswagen Touran?
2 Answers
Automobile maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a vehicle, also known as car servicing. Below are the steps to reset the maintenance reminder for the Volkswagen Touran: 1. First, turn off the ignition switch and shut down the vehicle. 2. Use your left index finger to press and hold the "0.0" button located below the instrument panel. 3. Then, use your right hand to turn on the ignition switch, ensuring your left hand continues to hold the "0.0" button until the maintenance service message in English appears on the instrument panel before releasing the button. 4. After releasing, press the "0.0" button below the instrument panel once again within 30 seconds. After completing these steps, the maintenance reminder on the Volkswagen Touran will be reset.
When the maintenance reminder light on my Volkswagen Touran comes on, I often reset it myself. The simplest method is to turn off the engine, sit in the driver's seat, press and hold the small reset button on the dashboard without letting go, then turn the key to the 'ON' position in the ignition switch but don't start the engine. Wait patiently for 5-10 seconds, and the screen may display a reset confirmation message. I continue holding until the light goes off. This trick works particularly well on the 2017 Touran model. I do this after every maintenance because ignoring the reminder could cause the car to miss critical servicing, leading to deteriorated engine oil or faster engine wear. Regularly clearing the reminder helps me focus more on actual maintenance tasks—things like oil changes and brake inspections can't be taken lightly. There are plenty of video tutorials online for reference, but I recommend trying the basic steps first and checking the manual for year-specific differences if it doesn't work.
