2 Answers
To reset the vehicle condition inspection for Volkswagen Magotan, follow these steps: 1. First, turn off the ignition switch, press and hold the reset/adjustment button, then turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and release the button. Press and hold the button at the lower left corner of the dashboard until the screen goes black. Then turn on the ignition switch and wait for "INSP" to flash five times, and the maintenance cycle indicator will be reset. 2. The appearance of the vehicle condition inspection is actually a reminder for the owner to perform maintenance. Owners must pay attention to performing maintenance within the specified time for various car components. For example, after driving 5,000 kilometers, the engine oil, oil filter, and air filter should be replaced. 3. If the vehicle has been driven 10,000 kilometers, in addition to regular maintenance, the air conditioning filter and fuel filter should also be replaced. If the vehicle has been driven 20,000 kilometers, besides normal maintenance, the three-way catalytic converter throttle should be cleaned, and the four tires should be rotated and inspected.
I've been driving my Volkswagen Magotan for almost five years now, and I'm quite familiar with the vehicle condition inspection reset procedure. After maintenance, that annoying reminder light keeps coming on, so I have to manually reset it. The method isn't difficult: First, sit in the driver's seat, make sure the doors are closed, and turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine. Then, press and hold the '00/SET' button on the instrument panel for a few seconds until the menu pops up on the screen. Use the button to navigate to the reset option, usually labeled 'service' or 'inspection interval,' and press the confirm button to complete the process. The whole thing takes just a minute or two, but sometimes you might need to repeat it a few times to succeed—the duration of pressing the button is crucial. Resetting allows the system to restart the maintenance interval timer and avoid false alarms. Remember to reset it immediately after maintenance; otherwise, driving with the light on can be unsettling. For beginners, I recommend checking the user manual before attempting this or recording a step-by-step video on your phone for future reference—it’ll save you time later.
