Summary

Some 2018 EcoSport vehicles may exhibit a "Maintenance Set Date" message displayed on the IPC after the battery or IPC has been disconnected and reconnected. This message indicates that the vehicle clock/time needs to be adjusted. Proceed through SYNC and set the clock/time manually. If the clock/time shown is correct, change it to one minute after the current time and after a key cycle set the clock/time back to the correct time. This will clear the "Maintenance Set Date" message.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 35 complaints in the electrical category.
