How to reset the service light on a Ford Fiesta 6

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Service warning light

If the service warning light represented by an orange spanner remains lit in the rev counter display when the ignition is turned on, it means that, due to mileage or time elapsed, it is time to carry out the service; once you have performed at least the oil and filter replacement, the reset of the light is done manually without the aid of diagnostic equipment; sit in the driver's seat with all doors closed, turn on the ignition and press the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously for about 30 seconds, then release both pedals at the same time, turn off the ignition and remove the key.
