I've been driving my Ford Escape for almost three years now, and resetting the maintenance reminder is actually quite simple—just follow the steps carefully. First, park your car in a safe spot by the roadside and make sure the ignition is off. Then locate the small button behind the steering wheel or on the dashboard, usually labeled 'TRIP' or 'RESET', and press and hold it with your finger. At this point, turn the key to the 'ON' position to light up the dashboard without starting the engine, and keep holding the button for about 10 to 15 seconds. You might notice the indicator light blink a few times before turning off, indicating a successful reset. Release the button, turn off the ignition, and then turn it back on to check if the reminder is truly gone. If there's no response, you might not have held the button long enough, or the button could be dirty and need cleaning. Take your time during the process—don’t attempt this while driving. After resetting, don’t delay maintenance for too long; that reminder is helpful for keeping track of oil change intervals. I remember feeling nervous the first time it didn’t work, but later realized trying a couple more times usually does the trick. If all else fails, check the manual or record a video to consult your dealer.
