Resetting maintenance on a Ford S-Max

Model: Ford S Max MK 1 - Years 2006-2016
Part: Service warning light

In today's video, we can see how to reset the oil change indicator on a first-generation Ford S-Max. Let's start the reset procedure by pressing and holding down both the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time, then turning on the instrument panel of our car without starting the engine. After doing this, we will see the oil service reset notification appear on the tachometer display, so we continue to hold down both pedals for about fifteen seconds until the reset completed notification appears, as shown in the video, to finish the job.
