How to Cancel Maintenance Reminder on Ford?
2 Answers
Ford's method to cancel the maintenance reminder is: 1. Close all car doors and windows; 2. Turn the ignition switch to position 2; 3. Simultaneously press the accelerator and brake pedals, wait for 15 seconds; 4. Release the accelerator and brake pedals after English text appears on the dashboard; 5. The system will reset and the reminder will be eliminated. Taking the Focus 2021 Sedan Manual Fengyue model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4647mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, wheelbase 2705mm, fuel tank capacity 53L, trunk capacity 51L, equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, maximum horsepower 122hp.
I just bought a used Ford Focus, and that pesky maintenance reminder keeps popping up – so annoying! Here's how I fixed it: After turning off the engine, firmly press and hold the Trip Reset button on the dashboard without releasing. Then turn the key to the ON position (but don't start the engine), wait about 10 seconds until the indicator light flashes a few times and goes off, then release the button. Problem solved – peace at last! Honestly, the maintenance reminder is for oil changes and such. If you do regular maintenance yourself, you'll want to turn this off, otherwise it'll keep nagging you while driving. Though sometimes the button location varies – for Ford trucks it might be on the steering wheel. Checking the manual is safer to avoid wasted effort. I'd suggest asking the mechanic to show you how during your next service visit.
