Where is the reset button for the Golf infotainment screen?
2 Answers
The button marked with 'RST' on the infotainment screen is the reset button. When the screen malfunctions or freezes, use a paperclip or toothpick to press the reset button, and the system will restore to its initial state, resolving the malfunction or freezing issue. Additional information: 1. Introduction: The Volkswagen Golf is a classic hatchback/small family car introduced by FAW-Volkswagen in 1974. Now in its seventh generation globally, it is the most produced and best-selling model in Volkswagen's lineup. 2. Safety Systems: In terms of active safety, the new Golf comes standard with a multi-collision brake system for compact cars, effectively preventing secondary collision injuries. It also features a lane-keeping system, rear traffic alert, fatigue detection system, tire pressure monitoring, and newly added rearview camera and blind spot monitoring among other active safety systems.
I've been driving a Golf for several years, and the infotainment screen occasionally freezes, which is quite annoying. The reset button is usually located at the bottom right of the screen—it's the one that looks like a power button icon. Just press and hold it with your finger for about 10 seconds until the screen goes black and then lights up again. Remember to park your car in a safe place and shift to P mode before operating to avoid distracted driving. If the screen keeps malfunctioning, it might be time for a software update. I regularly visit the 4S shop to check the vehicle's system or connect to the mobile app to run diagnostics, which can reduce the need for reboots. In newer models, the button is a bit more hidden—sometimes it's on the volume knob, and you just need to press and hold the knob. Anyway, don't worry; it's just a minor glitch and can be easily fixed.
