"A4 FAQ: Resetting the Service Interval Light

Written by Brian Davis in 2000
Please direct specific questions to the author!

When the dealer services your car, they are supposed to reset the oil or
service interval warning light that comes on in place of your trip odometer
when you start your car. It can be temporarily reset, by pushing the
odometer reset. But when the ignition is turned off, the service warning
will reappear when you restart your car. To reset it permanently, follow
these instructions:

Insert your key into the ignition.
Push in the odometer reset button, hold it in, and turn the key to the first
click.
The display should read either "oil" or "service" if it does not, repeat
steps #1 and #2.
To reset, pull out your instrument light dimmer button at the bottom of the
tachometer.
Turn the ignition to the off position. When the ignition is turned back on,
the display should be back to the trip odometer.
