Driver Controls System check Selecting this function from the SETUP menu causes the message center to cycle through each of the systems being monitored. For each of the monitored systems, the message center will indicate either an OK message or a warning message for three seconds. Pressing the RESET control cycles the message center through each of the systems being monitored. The sequence of the system check report is as follows: 1. Oil life 2. Brake system 3. Liftgate and glass 4. DTE/Fuel level Oil life An oil change is required whenever indicated by the message center. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ENGINE OILS. To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change [approximately 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or 6 months] perform the following: 1. Press and release the SETUP control to display "OIL LIFE = XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW". 2. Press and hold the RESET control for 2 seconds and release. Oil life is set to 100% and "OIL LIFE SET TO 100%" is displayed. 3. While "OIL LIFE SET TO 100%" is displayed, if a lower oil life start value is desired, press and release the RESET control to reduce the start value. Each press of the RESET control reduces the value by 10 percent. Note: Oil life start value of 100% equals 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or 6 months. For example, setting oil life start value to 60% sets the oil life start value to 4,500 miles (7,200 km) and 108 days. 70 2008 Escape (204) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
