On a 2017 Ford Fiesta, the spanner warning light on the dashboard indicates that a scheduled service is due or that the system requires maintenance attention. Resetting it requires hands-on steps in the vehicle and cannot be completed by reading a search result alone.

Sit in the driver’s seat and ensure the ignition is switched off.

Turn the ignition to the “on” position without starting the engine.

Use the buttons on the steering wheel or the instrument cluster menu (depending on trim) to navigate to the “Settings” → “Vehicle” → “Service” menu.

Select the option to reset the service light. Confirm the reset when prompted. The spanner light should extinguish after the reset.

If the light remains on, check that all scheduled maintenance items have been completed correctly, such as oil level, filters, and tyre pressure, because the system may not allow a reset if any items are outstanding.

Because this procedure involves specific vehicle controls and menu navigation, — you must enter the car and follow the steps to check and reset the spanner light safely.
