Compliance with maintenance regulations is the key to a long life of the engine and all components of your car. After changing the oil and filters to Skoda Kodiaq The on-board system continues to display a service reminder if the appropriate procedure is not followed. This is a software lock that does not affect the operation of the mechanisms, but can annoy the driver with a constant warning on the dashboard.
The procedure for resetting the service interval (ISI) on modern models of the Czech manufacturer differs significantly from the methods used on older cars with buttons on the dashboard. Depending on the year of manufacture and configuration, the reset can be performed either through the multimedia system Infotainment, or through the dashboard menu. Incorrect actions can lead to resetting not only the reminder, but also resetting the mileage setting, which will require re-diagnosis.
Preparing the vehicle for the reset procedure
Before starting any manipulations with on-board settings, it is necessary to ensure a stable power supply. If the battery is low, the process may be interrupted at the most inopportune moment, leading to errors in the software. Start the engine or turn the ignition to position ON, but do not start the engine unless the specific instructions for your software version require it.
It is important to ensure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Any movement or vibration may prevent the button press sequence from being executed accurately. Also check that the display does not show critical engine or transmission errors that require immediate professional attention.

Reset via dashboard (for versions before 2020)
On models Skoda Kodiaq In the first years of production, the procedure is performed using the physical clock setting button on the dashboard. You need to press and hold this button for a few seconds until the corresponding menu appears on the display. This is a classic method that does not require connecting external scanners or laptops.
After the reset menu appears, you must select โResetโ or โResetโ using the same button or rotary switch. The system will ask for confirmation of the action, and only after pressing the button for 3-5 seconds, scheduled maintenance indicator will change its value. If you release the button too soon, the procedure will not be completed and the system will return to its original state.
โ ๏ธ Attention: An incorrect sequence of presses may result in resetting not only the service interval, but also the clock settings, which will require manual reset.
- โฑ๏ธ Press and hold the clock setting button
- ๐ Wait until the โResetโ or โResetโ menu appears
- โ Confirm the action by long pressing the button
Resetting the interval via the Infotainment menu
On more modern versions Skoda Kodiaq With touch screens, the procedure is transferred to the multimedia system software.

Using diagnostic equipment
If standard methods do not work or the system interface is not available, the only solution is to use a professional diagnostic scanner. This is especially true for cars with complex electronics or after major repair work. The scanner connects to the OBD2 connector and allows you to control all vehicle parameters through special software.
Using diagnostic equipment, you can not only reset the service interval, but also check the condition of all vehicle systems. This avoids errors associated with incomplete reset or incorrect data entry. Professionals use such devices to fine-tune all parameters and check for errors.

Reset features on diesel and gasoline versions
Differences between diesel and petrol versions Skoda Kodiaq are minimal, but they exist depending on the type of engine and installed equipment. On diesel engines, it is often necessary to reset not only the oil change interval, but also the DPF indicator. This is due to the peculiarities of the exhaust gas purification system and the need for regeneration.
On gasoline versions, the procedure is usually limited to resetting the oil and filter change interval. However, if the vehicle is equipped with a start-stop system or other complex systems, additional settings may need to be reset. It is important to take these nuances into account when carrying out maintenance.
โ ๏ธ Attention: On diesel engines, resetting the service interval without regenerating the particulate filter can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the cleaning system and an increase in fuel consumption.
- ๐ข๏ธ For diesel: reset DPF and oil change interval
- โฝ For petrol: reset oil change interval only
- โ๏ธ Check additional systems if necessary
