Its in the hand book.

Its a combination of turning the key whilst holding one of the clock time adjusters and something else I cant remember.

Switch ignition OFF.
Press and hold down the trip odometer reset button (at the lower right of the instrument cluster).
Switch ignition ON and release the trip odometer reset button. It is not necessary to start the engine; merely turn the key until the ignition is ON.
The trip mileage area now displays "Service OIL".
If trip odometer reset button is now pressed again, the display turns to "Service INSP". Pressing the button again will cycle the display back to "Service OIL".
When the reminder that needs to be reset (either OIL or INSP) is displayed, turn button for setting the clock (at lower left of instrument cluster) to the right. The display changes to "Service ----". That reminder is now reset.
The second reminder is unaffected unless it is displayed by pressing trip odometer reset button and the clock button is turned right again.
Switch ignition OFF and back ON to resume normal display.

google is a powerfull tool.

Thanks for this, I posted on here a couple of weeks ago asking for this information for my Seat Toledo (with no reply). This works on my Seat, so I've printed it out as my car manual doesn't explain the process as well as you have.
