Service Light Reset Instructions

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

If the SERVICE warning light illuminates on the instrument cluster, it means it's time for maintenance: proceed with the engine oil and filter replacement, ensuring to dispose of the used oil correctly; once you have checked the correct engine oil level, you can reset the SERVICE light: this is a manual procedure that does not require any diagnostic tools; turn on the instrument cluster and immediately press the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously, holding them down until the reset procedure is complete.
