In the Volkswagen Polo 5, how do you reset the service light?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Service warning light

When the service light comes on in your car, it means that we are close to the service deadline and we need to replace the engine oil and oil filter, also paying attention to any other necessary interventions by consulting the user manual. A real guide can be found in the video here, as it shows all the operational steps and concludes by showing how to turn off the anomaly. Once the work is completed, here is what to do: turn on the instrument panel, press and hold the 0.0/Set button, wait for the Check message to turn off, release and press the same button again to set the new mileage deadline for the service.
