How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder on a Ford?

Ford vehicle maintenance reset method: First, turn the ignition switch to OFF, then simultaneously press the accelerator pedal and brake pedal. Next, turn the ignition switch to ON. After 20 seconds, the maintenance light will flash. Turn off the ignition switch and release the brake pedal and accelerator pedal. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. Car maintenance mainly includes the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other maintenance areas.
Last time I went to the 4S shop for maintenance, I specifically asked about this issue. Actually, clearing the maintenance reminder on a Ford is quite simple. First, turn off the engine, then press and hold the OK button on the steering wheel without releasing it, and turn the key to the second position to power on. At this point, the dashboard will pop up a prompt asking if you want to reset. Continue holding the OK button until the progress bar completes. The whole process takes just about ten seconds. However, it's important to note that the button positions vary by model. For example, the Ford Escort uses the button on the right side of the dashboard, while the Ford Kuga requires navigating to the maintenance settings option in the menu. After a successful reset, don't forget to start the car again to check if the reminder light has disappeared. I recommend checking the vehicle manual before operating, as pressing the wrong settings could cause unnecessary trouble.
