Method to reset the maintenance light on the Touran: First, turn off the engine, press and hold the 0.0 button at the bottom right corner of the instrument panel with your left hand. After pressing the button, do not release it, then turn on the ignition switch. At this time, a reset message will appear on the car's instrument panel. Click confirm to complete the reset. The Touran's body dimensions are 4397mm in length, 1794mm in width, and 1674mm in height. In terms of power, the Touran is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, which has a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I remember being particularly bothered by the maintenance light coming on when driving the old Touran. Actually, the procedure varies by model year. For older versions with mechanical instrument clusters, you need to first turn off the ignition, press and hold the small button at the bottom right of the dashboard, then turn the ignition to ACC mode. Wait until the wrench icon flashes on the dashboard before releasing the button and pressing it once more. For models with digital displays, it’s even simpler—just use the multifunction steering wheel buttons to access the vehicle settings menu, locate the 'Maintenance' option, and reset it. The key point is that the engine must be completely off during the operation, and some models even require keeping the key in the power supply position for over 30 seconds. After completing the reset, it’s best to start the car and drive for a few minutes to confirm the light doesn’t come back on, otherwise, the maintenance data might not have been successfully reset.
Recently helped my neighbor reset the maintenance light on his 2016 Touran. Nowadays, automakers have hidden the reset procedure quite deep—you first need to locate the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel. Power on the vehicle without pressing the brake to illuminate the dashboard, then use the left/right buttons to navigate to the 'Settings' page. Scroll down to find the 'Maintenance' submenu, and long-press the OK button to enter, where you'll see the reset option. Notably, for diesel models, you must wait for the self-check procedure to complete before performing the reset. After a successful reset, a confirmation prompt will appear on the screen. It's recommended to drive for a couple of days and observe. If the light keeps coming back, it might indicate incomplete computer logging during the last service, requiring a visit to the dealership to check for fault codes.
