How to reset the trip meter on the 2020 New Magotan LCD display

To reset the trip meter on the 2020 New Magotan LCD display, simply press and hold the button below the instrument panel for ten seconds, then release. Below is some relevant information about the 2020 New Magotan: 1. Introduction: The Volkswagen Magotan originates from the Future B6, which is closely related to the Passat B6. This is the first B-segment sedan to be produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. According to FAW-Volkswagen, "Ma" symbolizes confidence, decisiveness, and dynamism, while "Gotan" represents soaring, surpassing, and passion. 2. Powertrain: The Magotan is equipped with a 1.8 TSI engine, the latest generation engine from Volkswagen Germany. It embodies the most advanced engine technology internationally and leads the development trend of gasoline engines. The new 1.8 TSI engine combines turbocharging technology with gasoline direct injection technology, enabling it to deliver greater power and better torque characteristics. It can achieve a maximum rated output power of 118 kW within the engine speed range of 5,000 rpm to 6,200 rpm. Compared to traditional 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engines, its powerful performance advantages are even more pronounced.

I drive a 2020 Magotan, and resetting the trip odometer on the digital instrument cluster is actually quite convenient. Using the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, first press the menu button to navigate to the driving data page, then use the directional keys to select trip A or B. At this point, press and hold the OK button for about three seconds to reset it. Note that this operation needs to be done with the ignition on; it can also be done while driving, but it's recommended to do so on a safe stretch of road. This small feature is particularly useful for calculating single-trip fuel consumption. I reset it every time after refueling, so I can accurately know the actual mileage for that tank of fuel. Also, a reminder: the total mileage cannot be manually reset, so don't waste your time looking for that option.

A friend asked me the other day how to reset the odometer on the Magotan, so I thought I'd share the experience. After starting the car, don't rush to drive. Look at the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel—there's a menu button with an arrow. Press it to enter the settings, then navigate left or right to the driving data submenu. When you select the trip icon, a reset prompt will appear at the bottom of the screen. Just press and hold the round OK button. The design is quite user-friendly. Last time before a long trip, I reset trip B and saved a record of 187 kilometers with a fuel consumption of 7.2. If the buttons don't respond, check if you accidentally entered the tire pressure monitoring menu.

When I first got the car, I also spent quite some time figuring out how to reset the trip. Here's the specific operation: After powering on, press the menu key (three horizontal bars) on the right side of the steering wheel, switch to find the trip information interface, use the up and down keys to select trip A or B, then press and hold the OK button until the numbers reset to zero. Volkswagen's steering wheel control logic is much more convenient than the old knob style, but remember you need to long-press for it to work - a short press only switches the display. After resetting, it's recommended to drive for a while before checking the data, as the fuel consumption calculation isn't accurate immediately after resetting.

Just taught my father-in-law this operation last week. The trip reset for the 2020 Magotan is mainly controlled via the steering wheel: use the right-hand scroll wheel button to switch to the driving data page, and when you see the trip A/B display, keep pressing down the OK button for about three seconds without releasing. Note that you must press and hold continuously to trigger the reset; a short press won't work. This little trick is very useful for tracking oil life after maintenance. I'm in the habit of using trip A to record maintenance intervals, reminding myself to check the vehicle condition every 5,000 kilometers.

Two-year experience with resetting trip data in Magotan: On the right multifunction area of the steering wheel, locate the menu button with a gear icon. After entering, navigate left or right to select 'Current Trip' or 'Total' trip data. On the trip interface, a prompt will appear indicating 'Press and hold OK to reset,' and executing this action completes the process. As a tip, if you wish to simultaneously reset fuel consumption data, ensure the engine is running before resetting. This small feature is perfect for owners who like to accurately calculate vehicle costs—I reset it monthly to track my commuting expenses.
