What is the maintenance reset method for the 2013 Focus?
2 Answers
Maintenance reset method for the 2013 Focus: First, turn off the key, press and hold the button at the lower right of the dashboard, then turn the key to the position where all dashboard lights are on. You will notice that the small wrench symbol on the dashboard stops flashing. Finally, release the button and press the button at the lower left of the dashboard. You will see that the small wrench symbol disappears, indicating the reset is complete. The Focus features a crossover-style body kit, including a new front bumper design, black wheel arches and side skirts, and silver underbody protection. In terms of wheels, the base model comes with 17-inch five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, while the higher-end model is equipped with the same 18-inch five-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels as the overseas version, along with LED headlights.
I've been driving a 2013 Ford Focus for many years, and resetting the maintenance light requires step-by-step operation: First, sit in the driver's seat, insert the key and turn it to the ignition position (the dashboard lights up but don't start the engine). Then locate the TRIP button on the instrument cluster, press and hold it for about 10 seconds until a menu pops up on the display showing 'Oil Life' or similar wording. Use the directional buttons to select the 'Reset' option and press the confirmation button to complete. Don't rush during operation - pressing too briefly may cause failure. The first time I did this, I worried about short-circuiting, but everything worked fine. After resetting, the light goes off, which reminds you it's time for routine maintenance like oil changes and filter replacements. Delaying these basic services will cause engine wear. The Focus is reliable, but the manual's method is more accurate. I usually reset it myself after maintenance to avoid extra trips to the shop and save money.
