As an American, I would rephrase that as follows: The maintenance indicator on your Volkswagen Caddy switches on to remind you to bring your vehicle in for an oil change and inspection. Typically, a mechanic will turn it off after the service, but if they forget or if you're changing the oil yourself, you'll need to reset it. To reset the indicator, press and hold the 00/SET button on the dashboard, then turn the vehicle on without starting the engine. When a message appears on the display, press the OK button on the steering wheel to confirm. After that, you can start your car as usual, and the indicator light should be off.
To turn off the check engine light, also called a maintenance reset, on the 2016 VW Caddy, you can reset the battery by disconnecting the positive and negative cables, or use an OBD scanner to clear it.
