How to reset the service light on the Opel/Vauxhall Zafira C

Model: Vauxhall Zafira Zafira C, MK 3 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Service warning light

Let's see how to reset the service light for an Opel Zafina C: get into the car and close all the doors, do not start the engine, but only turn on the instrument panel and press the "menu" button repeatedly until the display shows "vehicle information", which we will select with the central scroll wheel. Then scroll through the options until you find the "remaining oil life" which should show "0%" or a very low value. Press the "ok" button for a few seconds (or the "SET/CRL" button as shown in the video, this depends on the version): a message will appear on the display: "are you sure you want to reset?" select "Yes" and the display will now show "oil life 100%" to confirm that the reset was successful.
