2 Answers
The steps to reset the service reminder on a Skoda are: Turn off the ignition, press and hold the SET button on the instrument panel, turn the key to the ON position, release the SET button, and finally press the 0.0 button to reset the Skoda service light. Below is some related information about Skoda: 1. Skoda (ŠKODA), one of the classic brands under Volkswagen Group, is headquartered in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic, and is one of the four oldest car manufacturers in the world. The brand was founded in 1895. 2. Throughout its over 100-year history, Skoda has endured numerous wars, political upheavals, and mergers, demonstrating remarkable resilience and writing a glorious chapter in automotive history. Currently, Skoda's product lineup includes the Kodiaq, Kodiaq GT, Kamiq, Karoq, Superb, Octavia, Octavia Combi, Rapid Spaceback, Rapid, and Fabia.
I drove a Skoda for several years and would always reset the maintenance reminder myself when it popped up—it's actually quite simple. Typically, you just need to get in the car without starting the engine, turn the key to the ignition position (just enough for the dashboard to light up), then locate the odometer reset button (most Skoda models have it on the left side of the steering wheel or on the instrument panel). Hold it down for a few seconds, and you'll see the reminder disappear or reset. It took me a while to figure it out—pressing buttons randomly at first didn’t work; you need to follow the exact steps. Now it’s much smoother to drive, though ignoring the reminder for too long leads to annoying beeping. Remember, this alert is a reminder to change the oil or inspect parts. If the light stays on too long, dirty oil could harm the engine’s lifespan. So I’d advise beginners to follow the manual or ask a friend for guidance—after all, your car is a big deal.
