To turn off the maintenance reminder in Magotan, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the small wrench button on the instrument panel; 2. Turn on the ignition; 3. Release the wrench button and press the minute adjustment button on the time setting knob; 4. Turn off the ignition and release the time button, then start the engine. The Magotan is a mid-sized 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.

I've dealt with the maintenance reminder for the Magotan several times. First, don't start the engine, but turn the key to the ACC position to light up the dashboard. Then use the buttons on the steering wheel—there are a few multifunction keys on the left or right side—press them repeatedly to find the settings menu. Once inside, select 'Vehicle Maintenance' or 'Service Options,' scroll down to the 'Reset Maintenance Interval' option, and confirm. For some model years, you might need to press and hold for two seconds for it to take effect, so check your vehicle's manual. The key point is that the maintenance reminder is just a prompt to change the oil or filter—don't just turn off the light and skip the maintenance, or you risk engine damage and costly repairs. I recommend resetting it immediately after each service to make it a hassle-free habit.

The maintenance reminder light can be annoying, but safety comes first. My usual method is to turn the key to the ON position after parking, without starting the engine, to power up the dashboard. Use the left and right buttons on the steering wheel to navigate through the menu, enter the vehicle settings, select maintenance reset, and confirm. Keep in mind that turning off the reminder doesn't mean you can skip maintenance—Volkswagen designed this feature to remind you of regular servicing to prevent engine wear. If you can't turn it off, check the fuses or look for a software update. Always complete the maintenance before disabling the reminder; don't risk major issues to avoid minor inconveniences. Road safety is paramount, so don't let the flashing light distract you. Regularly checking your car's condition is essential.

The operation is quite simple: After parking the car, turn the key halfway to power on. Once the dashboard lights up, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate the menu. Go into settings, select 'Maintenance,' and click reset. For some vehicles, pressing the right button on the steering wheel for two to three seconds will suffice. Remember to turn it off promptly after the maintenance is done, as the persistent reminder can be distracting while driving. Always adhere to the maintenance schedule—don't wait for the light to come on before taking action.
