By Juraj · Last updated August 15, 2026

This guide shows how to perform odometer correction (kilometer adjustment) on a Ford Fiesta Mk6 (pre-facelift, 2008-2012) using the XTool D8s diagnostic scanner. This procedure is intended exclusively for adjusting mileage values after replacing a defective instrument cluster, so that the new cluster matches the vehicle's actual mileage.
