Hi everyone,
Don't know if anyone else has encountered this and I can't find a thread dealing with it.
Not really a problem, just an issue with the Service Indication on the Information Display.
I have my cars serviced more frequently than they are supposed to be. On the Kuga this has meant that even though the motor, etcare alltaken care of, the indication on the info panel just sees total mileage from the odometer and appears when it sees 12.5k, 25k, etc, etc.
The first time it happened I went to the dealer who kindly reset it for me but this time I called them and they told me how to do it - here is the procedure for anyone who wants it.
1 Set Ignition Off
2 Close all doors
3 Apply and hold full throttle depression
4 Apply and hold full footbrake depression
5 Energise the ignition button (don't start it - just touch it)
6 Wait for about 15 seconds and watch for the message telling you that the reset was
successful.
7 Switch off the ignition then start as normal and 'hey presto', no more annoying
messages when you start or accelerate hard.
Worked a treat first time.
Regards
PJ
