How do you reset the Airbag indicator on a 2003 VW Passat wagon?

If an indicator light comes on, it usually means there is a problem and you should have it checked out as soon as possible. However, in the even that the light was triggered by other work, there is a hard reset you can use to turn the indicator light off. Disconnect both the positive and negative battery cables from the battery. Once both are disconnected, hold the positive and negative leads together for 10 seconds. Pull them apart and wait 5 seconds before reconnecting the battery. Put the key in the ignition and turn halfway. Wait about 15 seconds, and then turn all the way to start the car. This should hard reset the computer functions, and if the indicator light was a fluke, the reset will clear it.
