Turn off the ignition switch and hold down the "0.0" button on the instrument panel. Turn on the ignition switch while continuing to hold the "0.0" button. Release the "0.0" button when a message appears on the instrument panel display. Press the "0.0" button to confirm. Check if the maintenance light has been reset.
I've been driving the Volkswagen T-Roc for two years and have manually reset the maintenance light several times when it came on. The steps are: after turning off the engine, hold down the small button on the left side of the dashboard, then turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine, hold for five to ten seconds before releasing, and the maintenance light will automatically turn off. Remember, it's best to change the engine oil before resetting, as the light is a reminder for mileage-based maintenance. You should change the oil every 7,500 kilometers or so; otherwise, old oil with insufficient lubrication can accelerate engine wear. I've also noticed that resetting is quicker in winter, possibly due to battery charge levels. Regular maintenance keeps the car more durable and saves you from costly engine repairs. After resetting, the light won't come on randomly before the next scheduled maintenance, giving you peace of mind while driving.
