Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your car running smoothly. One of the most important parts of maintenance is changing your oil. On a 2014 Ford Focus, the oil life indicator will remind you when it’s time to change your oil. But once you’ve changed your oil, you’ll need to reset the oil life indicator. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Turn on the Ignition
Before you can reset the oil life indicator, you’ll need to turn on the ignition. Make sure the key is in the “off” position, then press and hold the gas pedal and brake pedal simultaneously. While you’re holding both pedals down, turn the key to the “on” position (but don’t start the engine).
Once the car is on, navigate to the “Settings” menu on the dashboard. You can do this by using the arrow buttons on either side of the steering wheel. Look for the “Settings” icon, which looks like a gear or a wrench.
Step 3: Select “Vehicle” Settings
Once you’re in the “Settings” menu, select “Vehicle” settings. This should bring up a list of options related to your car’s performance and maintenance.
Step 4: Select “Oil Life”
In the “Vehicle” settings menu, look for the option that says “Oil Life.” This should be near the top of the list. Once you’ve found it, select it by pressing the “OK” button on your steering wheel.
Step 5: Reset the Oil Life
Once you’ve selected “Oil Life,” you should see an option to reset the indicator. Select this option by pressing the “OK” button again. You may need to confirm that you want to reset the indicator by pressing “OK” one more time.
Step 6: Turn off the Ignition
Once you’ve reset the oil life indicator, turn off the ignition. Wait a few seconds, then turn the car back on. The oil life indicator should now be reset, and you can continue driving your car with confidence.
