Learn how to reset the service maintenance indicator on a Ford Focus. This is a very simple operation: enter the vehicle, switch on the ignition (you will see the maintenance warning light illuminated), and press the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously for 15 seconds (release the pedals when the time is up). Finally, switch off the ignition with the key, then turn it back on to verify the maintenance has been reset (the light should no longer be illuminated).

Always remember to make changes to the onboard computer with the vehicle stationary and switched off.
