How do you reset the service light in the Ford Focus?

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

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. As for the reset, here's how to do it: turn on the instrument panel, press the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously and wait for the cancellation procedure of the aforementioned warning to start. After about 20 seconds, everything will be completed and we can release the aforementioned pedals and turn off the instrument panel.
