'96 models can't be reset with the buttons.

Late '97 onwards can be reset with the buttons or suitable diagnostic equipment. There was a Euro bill that was passed circa '97, that all Euro vehicles MUST have the ability to have the service reset without using special tools, or visiting a dealership. In short, dealers weren't allowed to hold owners to ransome, clearing your service light for big bucks.

The same applied to early A4, you can't reset the service indicator with the buttons, while '97 onwards can be reset manually.
