Resetting the start-stop feature on the Ford Fiesta is a simple process that should only take about 4 to 7 minutes of your time. To start, open the driver's side door and enter the vehicle. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position, being careful not to start the engine accidentally. Wait for about 10 to 15 seconds. Then, press the fog lamp dial or switch five times in a row and quickly push the hazard lights button three times. The battery light on the dashboard will start flashing. Finally, turn off the ignition and start the engine.

    Start the car and let it run for 10 seconds, click the fog lamp button 5 times, then hit the hazard switch 3 times. Once the battery light blinks, shut off the engine.

    When it comes to American-made cars, the correct sequence is similar to the one mentioned, except for one change. Instead of activating the fog lights and hazard lights, you should flash the high beams five times and then quickly press the brakes three times. The battery symbol will start flashing shortly after this sequence.

    Unplug the battery overnight and reconnect it in the morning; this action should reset it.

    My car's stop/start feature isn't functioning properly even though I just got the car back yesterday. I tried doing the reset procedure and the battery light flashes, but the car still displays a message saying the battery is charging even when I'm stopped.
