In the Ford S Max, how do you reset the Service light?

Model: Ford S Max MK 2 - Years 2016-2024
Part: Service warning light

Suddenly the Service light comes on in our Ford S Max, which means that we will soon need to replace the motor oil and filter. The mileage or time interval for servicing is programmed according to the manufacturer's instructions, and it is important to adhere to these carefully. Once this is established, we carry out the aforementioned work and immediately afterwards we reset the anomaly light as follows: turn on the instrument panel, hold down the accelerator and brake pedals, wait for the Reset to start and finish, we can read it on the onboard computer, release the pedals mentioned earlier and turn off the panel.
