This is a service interval warning, which will illuminate at 45,000 miles, and again at 80,000 miles.
This simple service reminder light will be reset when you have your vehicle serviced at a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury dealership, since it is part of their checklist. However, most other service facilities are not aware of how to reset the light, or simply forget to reset the light.
This light is the most common light to be seen illuminated on used Cougars, as many people who do not purchase an extended warranty reach their 3/36,000 limit, and no longer visit the dealership for service, meaning the light illuminates once the person has begun using non-FLM service centers. This light does not indicate their is an issue with your car, but that a major service interval has been reached.
To reset this service-counter light, press and hold both the SELECT and the UNITS button, found on your dashboard odometer / clock controls. While holding these buttons, start your car. Continue to hold these buttons until you hear a low, long beep-sound, usually after about 5-10 seconds. The light will instantly turn off.
