Method to reset the maintenance reminder for the 2015 Ford Escort: 1. With the engine turned off, press and hold the short-distance trip counter reset button located below the tachometer. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then release the short-distance trip counter reset button. The display will show the SERVICE indicator. 3. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right. The mileage will appear on the display. 4. Turn off the engine to reset the reminder message. 5. Turn the ignition switch back to the ON position, and the SERVICE indicator will disappear. The Ford Escort is a compact car produced by Changan Ford, with dimensions of 4587mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2687mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Ford Escort is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a long-time owner of the Ford Escort, I used to do my own maintenance frequently, and later learned this method at the 4S shop. Resetting the maintenance reminder is actually super simple: first, turn off the car key to ensure the vehicle is completely shut down, then press and hold the OK button on the dashboard without releasing it. Next, turn the ignition switch to the ON position without starting the engine, and watch as the maintenance reminder light on the dashboard starts flashing. At this point, release the button, and wait a few seconds until the light goes out, indicating that the reset was successful. This method is suitable for most Ford models, including the Escort. Doing it yourself can save some money, but remember to check the engine oil and filters every 5,000 kilometers or six months to avoid engine wear. Developing good habits ensures your car stays in good condition and gives you peace of mind while driving.
