In the Smart Forfour, how do you reset the service light?

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Service warning light

It should be noted that the tutorial video presented here is relevant for both the Smart Forfour in question and the Smart Fortwo series 453. It details what is meant by a service, or part of it, as the engine oil always needs to be replaced, while in addition, as in this case, other interventions could also be added, such as the air filter and cabin filter. Well, now that this has been clarified, let's move on to the next phase, turning off the aforementioned warning light: we turn on the instrument panel, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to access the Settings, look for the Service option, and when prompted to Reset, we hold down the Ok button for about twenty seconds.
