2 Answers
To reset the maintenance reminder on Volkswagen Polo: First, insert the key into the ignition. Then, press and hold the trip meter reset button with your left hand while turning the key to the power-on position with your right hand. Maintain this for approximately one minute, and the maintenance light will be reset. Below are the detailed steps to reset the maintenance reminder on Volkswagen Polo: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and shut off the engine. 2. Press and hold the right button (reset/adjust) on the instrument panel. 3. While continuing to hold the right button with your left hand, turn the ignition switch to the on position. 4. Keep holding the 'reset/adjust' button until the maintenance light enters reset mode, then release the right button (reset/adjust button). 5. Within 20 seconds of releasing the right button, press the left 'menu button' once to confirm the reset. Following these steps will clear the maintenance cycle indicator and return it to the normal display mode.
Last time I helped my neighbor with this. After turning off the engine, hold down the '0.0' button at the lower right corner of the instrument panel without releasing it, then turn the key to power on without starting the engine. At this point, the instrument panel will display a 'Reset maintenance cycle?' prompt. Continue holding until the wrench icon flashes and disappears. The whole process takes about ten seconds. Release the button and restart the car, and the reminder won't pop up anymore. Actually, this design is quite user-friendly—it reminds us to do maintenance on time. After resetting it myself, I scheduled an appointment with the 4S店 for an oil and filter change. After all, keeping the car in good condition makes driving worry-free. If it's a new Polo with an LCD screen, you might need to access the vehicle settings menu to operate—just check the manual and avoid pressing physical buttons forcefully.
