To reset the "Service" light on a Volkswagen Golf, turn on the instrument panel without starting the engine. Find the button located under the instrument panel, usually on the right side of the dashboard.

Press and hold the button while turning off and then turning back on the instrument panel. During this operation, a message will appear on the display asking you to confirm the maintenance interval reset.

At this point, release the button and, if necessary, press it again to complete the procedure. The "Service" light should turn off, indicating that the reset has been performed correctly.

It is important to ensure that the oil change and general check-up have been carried out before proceeding with the reset, so that the system can properly monitor the new maintenance intervals. If you encounter difficulties or the light remains on, consult the vehicle's user manual or seek support from an authorized workshop to verify the correct functioning of the system.
