Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining the health of your vehicle. Your 2014 Ford Escape comes with an oil life monitoring system that helps you keep track of when it’s time to change the oil. When the oil life reaches a certain percentage, the system alerts you to the need for an oil change. However, after changing the oil, you need to reset the oil life monitoring system. Here’s how you can do that:
Step 1: Turn on the Ignition
The first step is to turn on the ignition without starting the engine. This means that you should press the start button without pressing the brake pedal. The dashboard lights will come on, but the engine won’t start.
Step 2: Press the Setup Button
Locate the “Setup” button on your dashboard. It’s usually located on the right side of the steering wheel. Press and hold the “Setup” button until the “Reset for System Check” message appears on the dashboard.
Use the arrow buttons on the dashboard to navigate to “Oil Life” on the menu. Once you’ve found it, press the “OK” button to select it.
Step 4: Reset the Oil Life
After selecting “Oil Life,” you’ll see the current percentage of oil life remaining. To reset it, press and hold the “OK” button until the percentage resets to 100%.
That’s it! You’ve successfully reset the oil life monitoring system on your 2014 Ford Escape. You can now start your engine and enjoy the benefits of a fresh oil change.
