Here’s how to correctly reset the service light on your Volkswagen Polo fifth generation (2009-2017). With this method, you won’t need any professional diagnostic tools, and it will only take a few seconds to complete the procedure. First, enter the cabin and turn on the ignition.

Next, locate the "0.0/Set" button at the bottom centre and hold it down. As soon as the new menu appears, release it and press the button immediately to its left multiple times until you see the mileage remaining until the next service.
