How do you remove the message "Component protection active" on the display of the Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

When the message "Component protection" appears on the central display of the Volkswagen Polo, it means that a generic problem has occurred in the functioning of the infotainment system, often of an electronic nature. When this message is displayed on the screen, you need to connect a diagnostic tool to the OBD port of the vehicle: this way you can select the model of the car in question and its corresponding version. Then you can eliminate the error from the screen, disconnecting the scanner afterwards and verifying that everything works correctly.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
