To reset the Service light on a Volkswagen Tiguan, press and hold the "0.0/SET" button located on the right side of the instrument cluster while it is off. Continue holding it down, insert the ignition key, and turn it to switch on the instrument cluster.

Once it is on, you can release the button.

A message will appear on the display asking if you really want to reset the light: use the controls on the right side of the steering wheel to confirm the reset, then turn off the instrument cluster.
