On the Ford Cougar, when a service is due, a warning light (a spanner) appears.
If you routinely have your car serviced by a non-Ford service depot,
how can you reset this warning light?
Thanks

Hello and thank you for your question.

Google Groups has the answer:
With the ignition switched on, hold the 'select' and 'units' buttons down at
the same time for about 4 seconds, the service indicator will then reset and
give you no more problems for another 10,000 miles. (Both these buttons are
located on the trip indicator circular dial).
