How do you remove the wording "Component protection active" on the display of the Volkswagen Passat?

Model: Volkswagen Passat B8, 3G, MK 8 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

Disabling the message "Component protection active" that appears on the Volkswagen Passat's radio is done by turning on the instrument panel, so that the display in the center of the dashboard is also turned on: once the screen is on, you can press and hold the circular power button to completely turn off the device. After a few seconds, you will notice that the screen will turn off and can be turned on again by pressing the same button: this way, the message indicating the activation of "Component protection active" will disappear completely.
