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

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.
