How to reset the service light on a 2013 Ford Focus

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

Performing a service light reset on a 2013 Ford Focus is a simple and quick operation that can be done independently. To reset it, we need to turn on the instrument panel and simultaneously press the brake and accelerator pedals, then turn off the instrument panel. While keeping both pedals pressed, we wait for the reset to load and the kilometers to be updated for the next service. When the kilometers are updated on the display, we restart the instrument panel and release the pedals. If the reset is not successful, it is necessary to go to a workshop to have this operation performed using diagnostic computer.
