Here are the steps to reset the maintenance light on a Jetta: 1. Turn off the car and lock the steering wheel; 2. Press the SET button on the right side of the dashboard with your left hand and turn the key to illuminate the dashboard with your right hand; 3. When the wrench-shaped indicator light on the dashboard starts flashing, release the SET button with your left hand; 4. Press the button on the left side of the dashboard once, and the wrench symbol will disappear, indicating the maintenance light has been successfully reset.

I've been driving my Jetta for almost ten years, and the maintenance light thing is actually quite simple. Most newer Jetta models allow you to do it yourself: First, turn the key to the ignition-on position without starting the engine, then press and hold the 0.0 button at the lower right corner of the instrument panel. When the word 'service' appears, release the button. Quickly press the minute button on the left once, and the instrument panel will display dashes or 'reset.' Finally, press and hold the 0.0 button until it shows 15000km, and you're done. For older models, you might need to enter engineering mode, so it's best to consult a professional technician. Regular maintenance is what really matters—don't just focus on resetting the indicator light.
