Instructions for Resetting the Service Light

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Service warning light

If the SERVICE warning light appears on the instrument panel when the ignition is turned on, indicating both the remaining mileage and the time limit, you need to carry out the scheduled maintenance as soon as possible. After performing the regular maintenance, which will at least include the oil and oil filter replacement, proceed to reset the service light manually. With the ignition off, press the button at the bottom right of the instrument panel, which has the key symbol, and while holding it down, turn on the ignition. At this point, release the button with the key and press the one to the left of the instrument panel with the TRIP label to perform the reset.
