The reminder notice related to the expiration of the service coupon, also in the Ford Focus, is represented by the spanner-shaped warning light. We are therefore close to having to carry out maintenance, changing engine oil and filters, respecting the guidelines of the manufacturer.

After about 20 seconds, everything will be completed and we can release the aforementioned pedals and turn off the instrument panel.
