First, sit in the car, close the door, and turn the ignition to the second position. Then press both the accelerator and brake pedals all the way down for about 10 seconds until a message appears on the information center. Continue holding the accelerator and brake pedals for another 30 seconds until the information center displays "OIL-LIFE-RESET-COMPLETE," indicating the operation is complete.
As a seasoned driver, I remember once my Escape showed a maintenance reminder, which was a bit unsettling. Actually, clearing it is quite simple. First, sit in the car and turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Then, use the directional buttons or the SETUP button on the steering wheel to navigate to the menu, find the vehicle settings, select the maintenance reset option, and confirm. The reminder light will then go off. This alert is generated based on the vehicle's mileage and sensor data, reminding you to change the oil or check the filters in time. Ignoring it could turn minor issues into major ones, such as engine wear or increased fuel consumption. I make it a habit to contact the service center immediately after resetting to schedule a check-up, ensuring driving safety and prolonging the car's lifespan. Each reset is like setting an alarm for myself, a reminder not to slack off.
