To reset the service light on the Volkswagen Golf 5 Plus, what needs to be done?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Service warning light

The warning light described here is closely related to the expiration of the service interval, so regular maintenance, oil change, auxiliary belt, timing belt, in short, everything related to materials that need to be replaced periodically or after reaching certain mileage. If we carry out such work ourselves, not in a workshop, we will then proceed to reset the warning as specified here: we hold down the button under the odometer while turning on the instrument panel, bringing up the warning light and the service message, then we hold down the button under the tachometer, the one on the right, and cancel the alarm.
