3 Answers
To reset the maintenance reminder on the Volkswagen Lavida Plus, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the car's ignition switch, then press and hold the 00 button on the instrument panel; 2. Turn on the car's ignition switch while continuing to hold the 00 button on the instrument panel; 3. Release the button when the wrench symbol starts flashing on the instrument panel. The Volkswagen Lavida Plus is an extended version of the Volkswagen Lavida, with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. In terms of power, the Volkswagen Lavida Plus is equipped with 1.5L and 1.4T engines, both belonging to the EA211 series.
I’ve also figured out how to handle the maintenance reminder for the Lavida Plus before. When you get in the car, don’t press the brake pedal—just quickly press the start button twice to power on the electronics until the dashboard lights up. Then, use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate to the trip data interface. Press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel for about ten seconds. At this point, a prompt will pop up on the screen asking if you want to reset the oil change maintenance data. Just confirm to clear it. After that, start the car and check if the wrench icon is still there. Usually, this will do the trick. However, if you haven’t done the maintenance yet, remember to go to the 4S店 for an oil change before clearing this reminder. Otherwise, the system won’t accurately track when the next maintenance is due.
Friends who drive the Lavida, take note: clearing the maintenance reminder is actually quite simple. Just get in the car and power it on without starting the engine, then locate and press the MENU button on the center console. Use the left scroll wheel on the steering wheel to navigate to the 'Settings' menu and select the 'Maintenance' option. At this point, press the OK button to see the 'Reset' option—press it and wait a few seconds, and you're done. I’ve tried it myself a few times, and the key is to perform the steps smoothly after powering on. If the menu doesn’t appear, it might be because you waited too long after powering on—just restart the process. Remember, if your maintenance is truly overdue, don’t just clear the reminder without going for an oil change—it’s bad for the engine.
