How to reset the service light on the Ford Focus?

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Service warning light

In this tutorial we can see how to reset the service in the Ford Focus, an extremely simple and quick operation, to be carried out only once all scheduled maintenance work has been completed. Let's start by going inside the cabin, then insert the key and turn on the instrument panel, not the engine. Then press both the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal all the way down and hold them in position for about 30 seconds, or until the confirmation message appears on the display. To complete the procedure, simply restart the vehicle.
