Ford Kuga maintenance reminder reset method is: 1. Connect the external control computer to the vehicle's onboard computer; 2. Select the engine option on the external computer operation interface; 3. Choose the matching function and enter the function module; 4. The control module will prompt to accept the request and update the read data; 5. On the pop-up interface, select the maximum maintenance time value and modify the stored data to new data; 6. Click confirm to modify to new data. Taking the 2019 Ford Kuga as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4524mm, width 1838mm, height 1685mm, wheelbase 2690mm, front track 1563mm, rear track 1565mm, fuel tank capacity 60l, and body weight 1592kg.
I recently reset the maintenance reminder on my Ford Escape by myself, and it was quite simple. Here's how to do it: First, remove the key to ensure the car is completely turned off. Then locate the RESET button on the left side of the steering wheel or on the instrument panel, and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ignition position where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start. Keep holding the RESET button for about 10 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance light icon start flashing or display a reset message. After releasing the button, turn off the power and restart the car to check and confirm. Why reset it? Because if you don't, it will keep reminding you about maintenance, which is annoying and might even cause misjudgments affecting driving safety. Regularly performing this small task can save you a trip to the dealership, costing almost nothing, and you can do it yourself in just a minute. Remember, the button location might vary slightly for different model years, but the general procedure is basically the same—give it a try, it should work.
