How to Reset the Maintenance Light on the New Ford Mondeo?
2 Answers
Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The steps to reset the maintenance light on the new Ford Mondeo are as follows: 1. Press the Mondeo's one-touch start button to ignite. 2. Click the SET button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel to enter settings. 3. Press the "-" button on the right side of the steering wheel to clear the dashboard display items. 4. Finally, press the OK button on the left side of the steering wheel to reset the Mondeo maintenance light. 5. Turn the ignition switch back on or start the vehicle to check if the car maintenance light has been successfully cleared. If it hasn't been cleared successfully, repeat the above steps.
When I first bought my new Ford Mondeo, I also encountered the issue of the maintenance light coming on. It took me a long time to figure out how to reset it. Park the car on level ground, shift into park for safety, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Next, locate the information control button on the steering wheel, usually the one on the right with an OK or SET label, and hold it down for about 10 to 15 seconds until the dashboard displays 'Maintenance Reset' or the light turns off by itself. The first time I didn’t hold it long enough and released it too soon, so it didn’t work, but the second time I waited patiently and succeeded. The maintenance light is just a timer reminder; after resetting it, you really need to service the car, like changing the oil and oil filter on time. If you only reset it without maintenance, the light will come back on soon, and it could lead to increased engine wear and higher repair costs. The manual has detailed diagrams, but I was too lazy to look, so I tried directly and it worked well. Developing a habit of checking every 5,000 kilometers can improve driving safety and comfort.
