To reset the oil change light or oil service reminder on a Volkswagen Tiguan, the process can vary slightly depending on the year of the vehicle. Here's how to do it for various years:

- Turn the ignition on without starting the engine (press the start button twice without pressing the brake).
- Press and hold the 0.0/SET button on the dashboard display.
- While holding the button, turn the ignition off, then back on without starting the engine.
- Continue to hold the 0.0/SET button for about 10 seconds until the oil change light resets.
- Release the button and the oil change light should be off.
For 2015–2017 Volkswagen Tiguan:
- Turn the ignition to the “on” position (without starting the engine).
