It will be possible to completely make the Service light disappear that appears on the instrument panel of the Volkswagen Polo by holding down the button located immediately below the instrument panel on the left side and then inserting the key and turning it to turn on the panel, without starting the engine.

Once these two operations have been carried out, the message "Reset oil service?" will be displayed on the screen: by pressing the button below the instrument panel, the confirmation message "Service interval reset" will appear.

At the end, to save the reset of the light, it will be necessary to turn off the instrument panel by removing the key from the ignition.
