How to reset the maintenance reminder on Volkswagen Sagitar?

[LaManuel]

Volkswagen Sagitar maintenance light reset method is as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and stop the engine. 2. Press and hold the "0.0" button on the instrument panel. 3. Turn on the ignition switch while keeping the "0.0" button pressed. 4. Continue holding the "0.0" button until one of the following messages appears on the instrument panel display, then release the "0.0" button: Reset oil change service? (Confirm to reset maintenance service data?) Reset inspection service? (Confirm to reset vehicle inspection service data?) 5. Press the "0.0" button again to confirm, only one press is needed. 6. Check if the maintenance light has been reset to zero. If not, you must start over from the beginning.

Last time I reset the maintenance reminder on my Sagitar myself, it was done in no time. Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, press and hold the 0.0 button on the right side of the instrument panel until you hear a beep, then release it and immediately press the clock button on the left once. The instrument panel will then display an English message asking if you want to reset. Use the right button to confirm, and you're done. Note that the operation must be completed within 10 seconds; if you're too slow, it might fail. If you're driving a high-end model with a digital instrument cluster, it's even easier—just select the maintenance reset option in the vehicle settings. Remember, don't just reset the reminder; make sure to change the oil when it's due for regular maintenance.

As a veteran mechanic with ten years of experience, I recommend following these three steps to reset the maintenance reminder: 1. With the engine off, press and hold the trip reset button on the instrument panel. 2. Turn the key to the ON position while keeping the button pressed for 15 seconds until the reminder disappears. 3. Release the button and start the engine to check if the wrench symbol is gone. For some newer models, you may need to perform this operation with the ignition switch in position II, using the steering wheel buttons to navigate the menu. The key is to determine whether it's a wrench symbol reminder or a text message reminder - text reminders usually require resetting through the vehicle's infotainment system. If the reminder persists, it's likely that the last service wasn't properly reset, in which case you'll need to use a diagnostic tool to access the engine control module for the reset procedure.

Just figured this out: Close all doors, hold the small round button at the lower right of the dashboard with your left hand, power on the key with your right hand (do not start the engine), wait for the maintenance reset option to appear on the screen, then use the button to confirm. The key is to hold the button down the moment the power is turned on—waiting longer than three seconds will cause it to fail. Last year, while helping a colleague, I discovered a pitfall—if the system wasn’t reset after the last maintenance, it would continue calculating the mileage. Forcing a reset under these circumstances might lead to missing the next maintenance deadline. It’s best to check the last maintenance record before proceeding.
