Your Ford S Max, like all other vehicles, requires scheduled maintenance, including oil changes, oil filter replacements, timing belt changes with the relevant kit, tensioner, bearing, water pump, and so on. It is impossible to forget these tasks, as the service light is programmed to illuminate at a specific mileage.

However, after completing the aforementioned work, the light must be reset.

To do this, press the brake and accelerator pedals, turn on the ignition, wait about fifteen seconds, and then turn off the ignition. Operation completed.
