Today we will see how to reset the service light related to the audio service and engine oil change on a 2013 Ford Focus vehicle. This operation can actually be performed on other Ford Focus models produced from 2011 to 2021. To start the reset procedure and update the mileage for the next car service, you need to get into the vehicle, sit on the driver's seat, and start the ignition.

After starting the ignition, press the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously, releasing the accelerator pedal three times in a row and pressing down. This procedure will allow us to update the mileage for the next engine oil change.

Once the reset is complete, restart the instrument panel.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
