Where is the reset button on a Ford Fusion?
In most Ford Fusion models there isn’t a single physical reset button labeled “reset.” Resets for items like oil life, trip meters, and TPMS are performed through the driver information display using steering-wheel controls. The exact steps can vary by model year and trim, so this guide covers the most common methods and what to expect.
Oil life reset
Resetting the oil life indicator is a routine maintenance step that keeps service reminders accurate. Use the instrument cluster controls to perform the reset.
Quick reference steps
- Turn the ignition to Run (do not start the engine).
- Navigate to the Oil Life option in the Driver Information Display using the left/right arrows on the steering wheel.
- Highlight Oil Life, press and hold the OK/SEL button until the display shows 100% or resets.
- Turn off the ignition and restart the engine to confirm the reset.
If your model uses a slightly different menu, refer to the on-screen prompts; the general idea is to access Oil Life and reset it via the OK/SEL button.
Trip odometer and other driver information resets
Many Fusion models let you reset Trip A or Trip B counters via the driver information display. This does not affect maintenance schedules.
How to reset trips
- Bring the trip display to Trip A or Trip B.
- Hold the OK/SEL button or press and hold the Reset control until the trip resets to zero.
- Repeat for any other trip you want to reset.
Trips are primarily used to track mileage for fuel economy and distance, not service cycles.
TPMS reset
The tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) can sometimes reset automatically after inflating tires to the recommended pressure; in other cases, you may need to perform a manual reset in the vehicle’s settings.
Manual TPMS reset (if available)
- Navigate to Settings > Vehicle > TPMS (or TPMS Reset) in the instrument cluster menu.
- Select Reset and confirm; then drive at normal speeds to allow the system to recalibrate.
If your Fusion requires a manual reset, the menu path may vary; consult the owner’s manual for your exact year and trim.
What to do if you can’t find a reset option
Some trims or older model years may not show explicit “Reset” options in the menu. In that case, rely on the standard maintenance reminders and perform resets as described in the manual, or contact a Ford dealer for precise steps by VIN.
Summary
There is no dedicated reset button on a Ford Fusion. Resets are performed through the driver information display using the steering wheel controls for items such as oil life, trip meters, and TPMS. Because steps vary by model year and trim, check your owner’s manual or contact Ford support if you cannot locate the reset option on your specific vehicle.
