How do you reset the airbag light on a Volkswagen New Beetle?

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 2, 9C - Years 1999-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

To reset the airbag warning light on the Volkswagen New Beetle, it will be necessary to use a tool like the one in the photo, which is specifically designed to erase the airbag light from the instrument panel: this tool must be connected to the vehicle's OBD port located under the steering column. Once the connection has been made, you can proceed by pressing the yellow button on the tool's interface: doing so will erase the airbag light from the instrument panel, which can then be turned off by turning the key in the opposite direction.
