Let's see how to reset the maintenance light on a Ford Focus. Use the pedals to reset the light.

Enter the vehicle, turn on the instrument cluster (you will see the maintenance light illuminated), and press the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously for 15 seconds (release the pedals when the time is up). Turn off the instrument cluster with the key, then turn it back on to check the maintenance status (the light should no longer be illuminated).

Repeat the reset procedure if you encounter issues completing it.
