To reset the service light on a Volkswagen Polo 6N (the older model from 1994-2003), press and hold the button located on the speedometer, under the LCD screen. While holding the button, turn on the ignition (without starting the engine) until "--" appears on the display.

Release the button and switch off the vehicle. You can also use this method to cancel the inspection request, which, as you know, has a different schedule from regular service intervals on Volkswagen vehicles.

Instead of "oil", the display will show "insp", but the procedure is exactly the same.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
