The maintenance light reset method for Volkswagen Jetta VS5 is: 1. Turn off the car and press and hold the button on the right side of the instrument panel with your left hand; 2. While keeping the right button pressed with your left hand, turn the key with your right hand to illuminate the instrument panel. At this time, a "wrench" indicator light will appear on the instrument panel and will not flash; 3. Release the left hand and press the button on the left side of the instrument panel, then the wrench symbol will disappear. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta VS5 280TSI Manual Base model as an example: its dimensions are 4419mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1616mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm. It is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the body type is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with a fuel tank capacity of 51L.
I've performed the maintenance light reset on my Jetta VS5 several times before, and it feels quite straightforward. First, make sure the car is turned off with the engine completely stopped, then locate the reset button on the dashboard—it might be labeled 0.0 or as a settings button. Press and hold that button without releasing it, then turn the key to the ON position so the dashboard lights up but don’t start the engine. After holding for about 5 to 10 seconds, you’ll see the maintenance light start flashing or turn into a short line, indicating the reset is successful. Once done, remember to start the engine to confirm the light has turned off. It’s recommended to service your car regularly, such as changing the oil every six months or 5,000 kilometers, so the light won’t keep reminding you. If you ignore the reset, the light will stay on, which can be distracting while driving.
