From memory this is the updated version of the popular "spanner" service light on the ealier AU's and E series correct?
For the life of me cant get rid of the bloody thing. Tried the hold odo button down with car off then turn ignition to ON turn to ON and then hold down button etc etc combinations of all those things (including tongue out while doing so - didnt help either) any answers? |

Its the speed alert Adam.
Hold down the top button on the the left hand side of you steering wheel controls. (It is the seek button for the cd player IIRC). You have pressed it down and put the speed alert on. To turn it off is to push it down again, until the S dissapears.

It doesn't measure the speed of the service. There wouldn't be enough room on the odometer display to do so lol

yeah same thing happens in the BA/F's, if you hold the left paddle in for a second or so. then the volume up and down buttons set the speed to alert from memory.

the servivce light was taken out because it had to be taken to ford to be taken off and was annoying to do so as if the odometer was 1 km under the service interval the light woudn't erase because the car thought it haden't been serviced so kept it on until it clicked over and had to be erased again

Everyone should know how to do it seeing as though it is in the manuals for it.
