How do you reset the Service light of the Škoda Fabia?

Model: Skoda Fabia 6Y, Mark1 - Years 1999-2007
Part: Service warning light

The Service indicator shown on the Škoda Fabia instrument panel can be reset by holding down the button located on the right side of the instrument panel until the "Service OIL" message appears on the display. Once the message is displayed, turn the key in the appropriate lock until the instrument panel lights up: at this point, the button should be slightly turned to the right until a confirmation sound is emitted indicating that the indicator has been reset. To verify this, you can turn off and turn on the display again.
