If you have recently changed the engine oil in your Ford Focus Mk3, but the oil warning light continues to stay illuminated on the dashboard, you need to follow this procedure to correctly reset the light manually. First, get into the car and reach the driver's seat, then turn on the ignition while simultaneously pressing the brake and accelerator pedals for about ten seconds.

Once the oil light has been reset, release both pedals and turn off the ignition.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
