How to Reset the Oil Maintenance Light on Ford C-Max 2003-2018

 

 Based on the compact Focus sedan, the five-passenger C-Max hybrid is a clever, quiet, spacious, and practical hatchback. It rides well and handles capably. The regenerative braking system recharges the battery when slowing the car, helping with fuel economy. But the system makes the brake pedal feel very grabby. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder and electric motor deliver adequate acceleration and seamless transitions between gas and electric power, and the C-Max can run in electric mode up to about 40 mph. We measured an excellent 37 mpg overall with the standard hybrid. Ford's easy-to-use Sync 3 infotainment system is available. The Energi plug-in version was dropped for 2018.
