In this short guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to reset the warning lights that appear on the instrument panel after replacing the battery on the Volkswagen Golf, as well as on the Audi A3. In order to reset all the warnings, it is necessary to perform a calibration by starting the engine and turning the steering wheel completely to one side and then to the other; then we proceed to reset the tire pressure warning light, as shown in the video.
