What is the method to clear the maintenance reminder on the Lavida?

Method to clear the maintenance reminder on the Lavida: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and press the "0.0" button on the instrument panel; 2. Turn on the ignition switch while keeping the "0.0" button pressed; 3. When a message appears on the instrument panel display, release the "0.0" button and select the option to reset the maintenance data; 4. Press the "0.0" button again to confirm. The Lavida is an A-segment car launched by Shanghai Volkswagen. Its onboard navigation system combines touch screen and rotary knob controls and has MP3 playback capability. In terms of body dimensions, the Lavida measures 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm.

Last time my car showed a maintenance reminder, resetting it was done after an oil change. The procedure is basically universal for Volkswagen models: First, turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. Then, press and hold the reset button at the lower right corner of the instrument cluster. Note that the instrument cluster will go black and reboot, displaying an English prompt. When you see 'SERVICE' flashing, release the button and press the confirmation key on the left menu button of the steering wheel (for higher trim models, use the steering wheel buttons). The key is to hold it long enough—last time I had to hold it for 3 seconds to successfully reset. Once done, the wrench icon will disappear. Remember to perform this operation before starting the engine; doing it with the engine off is the most stable.

Just cleared the maintenance light on my Lavida myself, sharing a tested and effective method: 1. Turn off the engine but keep the power on (press the start button twice without stepping on the brake); 2. Press and hold the 0.0/SET button on the right side of the dashboard, for newer models it's in the menu area on the left side of the steering wheel; 3. Continue pressing until the 'Service Now' English menu appears; 4. Release the button and quickly press the OK button on the steering wheel to confirm. The key is to hear a confirmation beep to know it's successful, the whole process takes just over ten seconds. If there's no response, it might be the wrong timing, make sure to operate within one minute after turning on the ignition switch.

Lavida Maintenance Light Reset Without Visiting the Dealership: With the engine off, press the start button to power on the electronics. Then, long-press the trip reset button on the instrument panel (located on the lower right side of the steering wheel). Pay attention to the screen—it will first display the time and date. Continue holding the button until the maintenance reset option appears. For older models, you may need to press the brake pedal simultaneously, while newer models only require holding the reset button until the prompt flashes, then briefly pressing the confirmation button. After completing the reset, it's recommended to turn off the ignition and restart the car to check if the reset was successful. This method has been personally tested and confirmed effective on my 2015 Lavida. If the reset fails, check the battery voltage, as unstable voltage can affect the operation.
