13 Focus maintenance light reset method: First, press and hold the maintenance button, insert the key until the light comes on, and release the maintenance button after hearing a ding sound; without moving the key, press and hold the minute button next to the instrument panel. If the minute time does not move, it means the reset is complete. The Focus is a Ford A-segment family car with a length, width, and height of 4647 mm, 1810 mm, and 1468 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2705 mm. In terms of suspension, the Focus features a McPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. The car is equipped with keyless entry, one-button start, TPMS tire pressure monitoring, parking radar, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Speaking of my 2013 Focus, I've reset the maintenance light multiple times, and it's super easy. You need to sit in the driver's seat, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position, but don't start the engine—just power it up. Then locate the small button on the instrument panel, usually labeled TRIP or ODO, near the steering wheel. Press and hold it with your thumb for five to ten seconds until the wrench light flashes or turns off, indicating a successful reset. I've done this many times, saving myself the hassle of visiting the repair shop. Remember, this light is a reminder for regular maintenance, like an oil change every 5,000 kilometers. After resetting, note down the current mileage to schedule the next service. The key is to keep the car stationary while doing this to avoid distractions and ensure safety.
