The Ford C Max is equipped with a special sensor capable of automatically detecting the health (or charge) status of the car battery in real-time. Sometimes, due to software errors, incorrect data may be detected, resulting in a warning message on the instrument panel. To resolve this issue, a simple reset is needed. Here’s how to do it. First, turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Then, activate the high beam lights five times in a row. Press the brake pedal firmly three times, and finally, switch off the ignition. The reset is complete.
