On the Volkswagen Passat, it will be possible to completely make the Service light disappear by holding down the button on the right side of the dashboard while it is turned off: continuing to hold it down, it will be possible to insert the ignition key into the ignition switch and turn it to start the dashboard.

In this way, a confirmation message will appear asking if you really want to reset the light: by responding with the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel, it will be possible to make the light disappear completely.

Then, the dashboard must be turned off to confirm.
