The Service indicator that is shown on the instrument panel of the Volkswagen Golf can be completely erased by holding down the 0.0 button located in the center of the instrument panel while the ignition is off. Continuing to hold down the button, you will need to turn the key in the corresponding ignition block so that the instrument panel can be turned on. Releasing the button will display a message asking if you really want to erase the maintenance and oil indicator.

Pressing the OK button located on the right lever of the steering wheel or on its right spoke will eliminate the indicator.
