How to reset the maintenance light on a 2017 Ford Kuga?
1 Answers
First, close all doors and windows. Press the Kuga's one-button start to ignite the engine. Simultaneously press and hold the accelerator and brake pedals for about 3 seconds until the dashboard displays "Service: Oil reset in prog," and maintain this for 25 seconds. After 25 seconds, the message "complete" will appear, indicating that the oil maintenance reset is complete. At this point, you can release the accelerator and brake pedals. Below is a detailed explanation: 1. When the Kuga's dashboard displays "Engine oil needs to be changed, please maintain immediately," it does not mean there is an issue with the engine oil. It simply indicates that the oil change cycle has reached the specified range, meaning it's time for maintenance. Although you can reset the maintenance light yourself, it is best to visit an authorized Ford service center for maintenance, where professionals will use a car computer diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light. 2. If the Kuga's oil is not changed for a long time, the oil may deteriorate. Not only will it fail to provide protection, but its lubrication effectiveness will also decrease, leading to severe wear of internal engine components. Additionally, the cooling effect will significantly decline, making it difficult for the engine to dissipate heat, which can easily cause "engine seizure."
