Depending on your car/engine, it works it out as 10000miles or 12months, whichever comes first I think.
On a MkIV Golf you reset it like this:
1. Push and hold the odometer button.
2. Turn on ignition.
3. Turn digital clock button clockwise, and choose the service you want to reset.
4. Turn off ignition.
Your Service indicator should now have been reset.
I would imagine the above is the same on a Polo. If not, hopefully someone will come along to help!
Most models of the Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 are equipped with a service reminder system that displays a notification light on the control panel when service is due. The onboard computer tracks driving conditions to determine when to illuminate the service reminder light. The service technician at the Mercedes-Benz dealer or garage will reset the service light for you when he performs regular maintenance on the car. If you do your own maintenance, you can turn the light off yourself.
1. Turn the ignition switch on. Do not start the engine.
2. Press the information menu button on the left of the steering wheel repeatedly until the total mileage is displayed.
3. Press the up- or down-arrow button on the left of the steering wheel until the service light is displayed.
4. Press and hold the reset button until a confirmation message appears on the display. The reset button is located to the left of the odometer.
5. Press and release the reset button to confirm the reset. The service light turns off.
If that spanner symbol has come up on your dashboard then it’s time your car was due a service. The symbol is just a periodic reminder, it doesn’t actually come up to denote a fault – the ‘check engine’ symbol does that.
If you service the car yourself and want to reset it or your garage has forgotten to reset it, you can do it yourself quite easily with the following simple steps:
This will work with the following models:

The code on the mileage display when you start the car will read “IN01”, “IN02” or similar. To remove this, use the following procedure (this should work on any VW with a digital odometer):

Turn the ignition on (warning lights come on) wait about 10-15 sec until most or the lights are off (still pressing odometer reset button)
Turn ignition off (button still pressed) and remove the key
Release reset button
Interval should now be reset. If this is not the case, repeat the above procedure
