What is the manual reset method for the maintenance light on the 2015 Sagitar?

Open the driver's door and locate the maintenance light reset button, which is positioned above the steering wheel and marked with the 【O.O】 symbol. Press and hold the 【O.O】 reset button, then turn the car key to power on the vehicle. The dashboard will light up, and the car will enter the self-check program. The dashboard display will then show the message 【Confirm to reset the maintenance service data?】. Release the button and quickly press it three times. Check the warning indicator lights on the dashboard to see if the maintenance light has disappeared. If it hasn't, repeat the previous steps.
Having driven Volkswagen cars for so many years, I find resetting the maintenance light on the 2015 Sagitar quite simple. First, turn off the engine, then press and hold the 0.0 reset button on the instrument panel—make sure not to release it. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and the maintenance message will pop up on the dashboard. Keep holding the button until you see the prompt asking to confirm the maintenance data reset, then you can release your finger. Finally, press the reset button lightly once more to confirm, turn off the power, and restart the car. I did this myself before my last service, and the whole process took about two minutes. Just be sure to carefully watch the dashboard changes during the steps to avoid mistakes that might cause a reset failure. Regularly clearing the maintenance reminder is important for vehicle upkeep, so you don’t forget the service schedule.
The key to resetting the maintenance light is timing. Immediately after turning off the engine, press and hold the 0.0 button firmly all the way down—I found through several attempts that applying some force is necessary. After powering on (but not starting the engine), the dashboard will display a countdown prompt; maintain pressure until text confirmation appears before releasing. A light tap confirms the reset, then power off and restart to complete. The 2015 Sagitar’s design is quite user-friendly, much more convenient than older models. Last winter, I failed twice due to stiff fingers before realizing insufficient pressing force was the issue. Remember: after turning the key to ignition, avoid rushing to start the engine—or you’ll undo the process. Regular resets greatly aid maintenance cycle tracking; perform this right after each service.
A practical tip shared by a 2015 Sagitar owner. With the engine off, press and hold the 0.0 button on the dashboard, turn on the power without starting the engine, and continue holding the button when the maintenance message appears. Release the button after seeing the confirmation prompt and press it once more, then turn off the power and restart to complete the process. This operation is especially suitable for owners who perform their own regular maintenance. Just pay attention to the changes in the dashboard prompts during the operation. After completing it last time, I also checked if the next maintenance reminder date was set correctly. It's best to perform the entire process with the engine cooled down to avoid distractions.
