How to Reset the Oil Maintenance Light on a Ford Kuga?
4 Answers
First, close all doors and windows. First, turn off the vehicle's ignition switch. Then, press and hold the maintenance light reset button on the vehicle's dashboard. Keep it pressed until the maintenance light is reset. Next, turn on the ignition switch of the 2014 Changan Ford Kuga while still holding the maintenance light reset button. Finally, when the vehicle's display shows 0000.0, immediately release the maintenance light reset button. This will reset the vehicle's maintenance light.
I've been driving a Ford Kuga for a while, and resetting the oil maintenance light is actually quite simple. Other owners I've talked to say the same thing. First, park the car on level ground, shift to P, and engage the parking brake. Don't start the engine; just turn the key to the ON position, or press the start button to illuminate the dashboard. Then, locate the control buttons on the steering wheel, usually the five-way button on the left. Press it to enter the menu system, select 'Vehicle Settings,' and then find the 'Oil Life Reset' option. Confirm the selection, and the light will go off. The system will automatically calculate the next maintenance interval. Remember to do this immediately after changing the oil, or the light will keep reminding you, which can be annoying and unsafe while driving. I check the oil level weekly to prevent minor issues, making overall car maintenance much easier.
I reset this light myself every time I change the oil, saving the hassle of going to the shop: Get in the car, press the brake, turn the ignition to ON (don't start the engine), and the dashboard will display a prompt message. Use the small button or touchscreen to enter settings and select 'Maintenance Reset.' Some model years of the Escape have a dedicated 'RESET' button on the dashboard—hold it for a few seconds until the light turns off. The whole process takes a minute or two, but make sure to follow safety measures like closing the doors to avoid accidental actions. If it doesn’t work the first time, don’t worry—repeat the steps or check the manual for reference. Regularly checking tire pressure and the battery can extend your car’s lifespan, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
Quick and Safe Warning Light Reset: Sit in the car with the engine off, turn the key to the ON position. As soon as the dashboard lights up, press the steering wheel menu button or instrument panel button, navigate to the oil reset option, confirm and wait a few seconds for the light to turn off. Don't skip this step—it ensures the system accurately reminds you of the next service interval. I often check the coolant level while doing this to prolong engine health.
