In the Volkswagen Polo, you can completely eliminate the Service light that appears on the instrument panel by pressing the button located immediately below the display on its left side. Insert the key into the ignition to activate the dashboard without starting the engine.

After performing these two steps, the display will show the message "Reset oil service?" Pressing the button located below the instrument panel on the right side will display the confirmation message "Service interval reset." Finally, to save the changes made, you will need to turn off the instrument panel and turn it back on.
