How is the service light reset in the Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Service warning light

The Volkswagen Golf, like other cars, is equipped with the service light, which, accompanied by a message that appears on the on-board computer, warns us of the expiration of the service. The basic operations to be carried out are engine oil and oil filter change, but most of the time other things are also added, such as service belt, pollen filter, etc. The next step after this is to turn off the aforementioned warning, to be done by holding down the 0.0 button and turning on the instrument panel, releasing the button and then pressing it again to confirm the desire to delete the warning light.
