To reset the oil change maintenance reminder on a Volkswagen, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the ignition and wait until the LCD screen is completely off; 2. Press and hold the set button; 3. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine, while still holding the set button; 4. When the main LCD screen displays "SERVICE" and a wrench symbol, release the set button and then press it once more to reset. Volkswagen is a German automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, and is one of the core companies of the Volkswagen Group, a leading global car manufacturer. Its models include the Phaeton, Passat, Magotan, Magotan Wagon, Golf Wagon, and CC.
To reset the maintenance reminder light on a Volkswagen, it depends on the model year. For my own 2018 Volkswagen, the reset process is simple: First, turn off the engine and ensure the vehicle is stationary, then remove the key or turn off the power. Next, insert the key but do not start the engine—keep it in the ACC position. Now, press and hold the OK button on the steering wheel or the small reset button near the instrument panel for about 5 seconds until the display shows 'Reset service?' or a similar prompt. Release the button and confirm to complete the process. For newer models with touchscreens, you may need to navigate to the settings menu, find the vehicle information option, and scroll to the service reset function. Remember, the reminder light will turn off after resetting, but you still need to perform the actual maintenance. Otherwise, don’t blame the reminder if the car develops issues. Regularly checking the oil level and quality can extend engine life, saving you money and hassle.
