Resetting the service light of the Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Service warning light

Below we will see the information that will allow us to reset the maintenance reminder (service) of the Volkswagen Passat. First of all, we get into the car and start the instrument panel; then we use the steering wheel controls to enter the car settings, then go to the service submenu and confirm the reset of the maintenance key (pressing the "ok" button on the steering wheel), as shown in the video. At this point, we turn off the instrument panel and start the engine, verifying the correct reset of the service light!
