How to Reset the Maintenance Reminder on the Magotan
2 Answers
Here are the steps to reset the maintenance reminder on the Magotan: 1. Press and hold the small wrench button on the instrument panel with your left hand. 2. Turn on the ignition with your right hand. 3. Release the small wrench button with your left hand and press the minute adjustment button on the time setting. 4. Turn off the ignition and remove your left hand from the time button. 5. Start the engine, and the maintenance reminder will disappear. Below is some information about the Magotan: The Magotan is a mid-size car introduced by FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. It is equipped with either a 1.4T or 2.0T turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 110kw and 137kw respectively, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
My Magotan also showed the maintenance reminder the other day, and actually, you can clear it yourself. First, turn the key two clicks to the power-on position without starting the engine. At this point, the wrench icon will appear on the dashboard. Hold down the 0.0 button on the right side of the dashboard without releasing—I held it for about ten seconds last time, and the warning light went off by itself. If you have the newer digital dashboard, you'll need to find the vehicle settings in the steering wheel buttons, then enter the maintenance reset option and confirm. A quick reminder: make sure to turn off the AC and lights before shutting off the engine to ensure the reset data is accurate. After resetting, it's best to drive a bit to see if the reminder pops up again—once, I did it too quickly and it didn’t work, so I had to redo it. If you really can’t figure it out, just head to the 4S店—they can clear it with their computer in two minutes. Regular maintenance is good for the engine, and this reminder is actually a thoughtful nudge for car care.
