Here is the method to reset the oil maintenance light on the Kuga: 1. Connect an external control computer to the vehicle's onboard computer. 2. Then, select the engine option on the external computer's operation interface. 3. Next, choose the matching function to enter the function module. 4. After that, a prompt will appear indicating that the control module has accepted the request and will update the read data. 5. Then, select the maximum time value for maintenance in the pop-up interface. 6. Click confirm to modify to the new data. Below is the method to clear the maintenance light for the Ford Kuga 1.6: 1. Turn the key to the ON position, and the dashboard lights will illuminate. 2. Press both the accelerator and brake pedals all the way down and hold them. 3. The dashboard screen will display 'Service: Oil reset in prog.' Keep pressing the accelerator and brake pedals. 4. Wait until the letters on the dashboard screen change to 'Service: Oil reset complete,' indicating the oil reset is finished.
Last time I reset the oil maintenance reminder on my Ford Escape, it was quite simple and hassle-free. First, turn off the engine and make sure the car is parked securely without touching the accelerator. Then, press and hold the Trip button on the steering wheel or dashboard, turn the key to the 'run' position (where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start). Keep holding for about 10-15 seconds until the oil reminder light on the dashboard flashes a few times and turns off, or you hear a beep, then release. After finishing, check if the light has reset properly. This prevents unnecessary reminders next time. I also recommend regularly checking the oil dipstick to ensure the oil level is within the normal range, which helps prolong the engine's lifespan. Never wait until the light stays on constantly to take action, as it affects driving safety.
