Today we will see how to reset the air conditioning on a Volkswagen Golf after the battery has been replaced or maintenance has been performed on the air conditioning system. To perform the reset, you need to turn on the instrument panel and the engine of the vehicle.

Immediately after, press and hold the air conditioning button, which is the one with the reclining seat and fan symbol, for a few seconds. Keep the button pressed until both buttons start to flash.

Once the flashing stops, the air conditioning will be reset. If not, you will need to take it to a workshop for a check.
