To reset the maintenance reminder on a Volkswagen, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the car's ignition and press the set button on the right side of the dashboard with your left hand; 2. While holding the set button, turn on the ignition, release the set button, and press it once more; 3. Turn off the ignition, then turn it on again to complete the reset. The benefits of car maintenance include: 1. Ensuring optimal vehicle performance; 2. Enhancing driving safety; 3. Reducing engine noise; 4. Extending the vehicle's lifespan. Common car maintenance items include: 1. Replacing engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter; 2. Inspecting the body and tires; 3. Checking the braking system; 4. Examining the chassis for damage; 5. Checking fluid levels.
I've been dealing with Volkswagens for years, and as soon as the maintenance reminder pops up, I take care of it myself. The specific steps are: After getting in the car, don't start the engine. Locate the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel and the small button marked 0.0, then press and hold both for ten seconds without letting go. Next, turn the key to the ACC position (where the battery is powered but the engine doesn't start), and wait for the reminder on the dashboard to disappear. Different model years might have slight variations, like older models with key ignitions and newer ones with push-button starts, requiring slightly different procedures. It's best to check the user manual or search online for instructions specific to your model. Developing a habit of regular maintenance, like changing the oil and filters on time, will keep those annoying reminders at bay. Doing it yourself saves time and a bit on repair costs.
