Operation: How to reset the "Service" light on a Ford Focus

Before we can begin, we will have to go and sit in the driver's seat of our Ford Focus. So let's start by pressing and holding the brake and accelerator pedals, and in the meantime, we will have to activate the instrument panel, simply by turning the key inside the ignition lock. After that, we will have to keep pressing the two pedals until the "Service" light goes off automatically. When we have completed this last step, we will have to release the two pedals, and we will have successfully completed the reset of the "Service" light of our Ford Focus.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
