What is the method to reset the maintenance light on a Ford Kuga?

Ford Kuga maintenance light reset method is: 1. Close all doors and windows to enable vehicle computer settings; 2. Turn the ignition switch to position "2"; 3. Simultaneously press and hold the accelerator and brake for about 3 seconds until an interface appears on the dashboard; 4. After 25 seconds, the word "complete" will appear, indicating successful maintenance light reset, then release both pedals. The maintenance light serves as a vehicle service interval indicator. Although you can manually reset it, professional maintenance should first be performed at a 4S shop or authorized service center, after which technicians will properly reset the light using specialized diagnostic equipment.
Last week I just helped my neighbor reset the maintenance light on their Escape, and it was actually quite simple. Turn the key to the off position without starting the engine, then press and hold the OK button on the dashboard without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the second position (where all dashboard lights come on). At this point, you'll see the screen start a countdown or display engineering mode. Keep holding for about 10 seconds until an English reminder pops up, indicating success. Finally, press OK to confirm the reset. The key to the whole process is ensuring the battery voltage remains stable, and all lights must be turned off beforehand. If it fails midway, it might be due to poor button contact—just try a couple more times, and it should work. Avoid using excessive force when pressing.
