If it's the same as the Passat, then you need to hold down the
mileometer reset button as you turn on the ignition (but don't start the
engine).

Then by twisting the clock set button (as if setting the clock), select
the service you want to reset. Finally, press the mileometer reset to
reset the service indicator.

Once this is done, turn off the ignition and back on again, and it
should be clear.
