In this video tutorial, you will see how to reset the oil service light on a Ford Focus Mk3. First, perform maintenance on the vehicle, such as changing the engine oil and filters. Enter the vehicle and close all doors, including the boot and the bonnet, as otherwise the procedure may not be successful.

Engage the handbrake, press the start button to turn on the instrument cluster; the display will show the message (CHANGE ENGINE OIL and the spanner and oil can icons); now press the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal simultaneously, and the display will show "Service Oil reset in prog." Wait for about twenty seconds with your foot on the pedals, and you will have completed the reset, so the message "Reset complete." will appear.

Now you can release the pedals.

Turn off the ignition and wait for two minutes, then turn on the ignition to verify the reset was successful.

How to Adjust the Rear Seats of the BMW X1

In this video, see how the BMW X1's cargo area can be used to transport large loads. To expand this area, the rear seat can be folded down with a 40/20/40 split, each section can be folded separately or all together. The seats can be adjusted independently to provide more space for passengers or cargo: to do this, pull the handle located at the bottom and push or pull as needed. To position the backrest in the desired position, there is a cordura handle on the left side. Inside the trunk, there are buttons that automatically fold the backrests of the rear seats forward, but only after ensuring they are clear. They can be returned to an upright position manually using the cordura handle.
