How to reset the Passat inspection reminder?
2 Answers
You can select the settings in the menu, then choose the maintenance option in the menu, and press the reset button directly to clear it. Below is an introduction to the Passat: 1. The Passat is a compact sedan, equipped with two engines, one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. 2. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine of the Passat has a maximum power of 85 kW, a maximum torque of 175 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1500 to 4500 rpm. 3. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine of the Passat has a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1750 to 3000 rpm.
My Passat also had the INSP light come on, and I've manually reset it several times myself. The process is actually quite simple: First, turn off the engine and all electrical devices, then press and hold the '0.0' button on the dashboard without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ACC position (which means powering on without starting the engine), keep holding the button for about ten seconds, and the INSP reminder will disappear. If it still lights up, you might not have pressed the button correctly—just try a couple more times. This light is a reminder for maintenance, so after resetting it, it's best to schedule a service soon, such as changing the engine oil and oil filter, to prevent engine damage from dirty oil. I regularly check the dashboard to ensure driving safety and avoid distractions while driving at night. Actually, this design by Volkswagen is quite thoughtful; resetting the light isn't difficult, even beginners can give it a try, but be careful not to mix up the steps to avoid accidentally triggering other functions.
