How to reset the maintenance reminder for a 2015 Focus?
2 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance reminder for a 2015 Focus is as follows: First, turn off the ignition. Press the button at the bottom right of the instrument panel, then turn on the ignition. At this point, you will notice that the maintenance indicator (a small wrench symbol) on the instrument panel stops flashing. Release the button and press the button at the bottom left. You will see that the small wrench symbol on the instrument panel has disappeared, indicating that the maintenance light has been successfully reset. The advantages of the maintenance reminder light include the following three points: 1. Improves vehicle performance: Regular maintenance can enhance the car's performance and extend its lifespan. 2. Saves fuel: Proper vehicle maintenance can help save fuel during driving. 3. Reduces emissions: After a full maintenance service, the car's carbon monoxide emissions during idle driving will be reduced.
I've been driving my 2015 Focus for several years, and I always manually reset that maintenance reminder light after each service—it's quite simple. First, turn the key to the ON position (where all dashboard lights are on but the engine isn't running), then press and hold the TRIP button on the instrument panel for about 10 seconds until the display changes or the prompt disappears before releasing. If that doesn't work, you might need to press the RESET button simultaneously—Ford models sometimes have different button combinations, so it's best to check the owner's manual first to confirm. Once successfully reset, the maintenance light turns off, avoiding distractions while driving. Remember to stick to regular maintenance without delays, like changing the oil and filter every 5,000 kilometers, to keep the car in good condition, extend its lifespan, and ensure safety. I've consistently followed this routine, and my car's performance has remained strong while saving on repair costs.
