Purchased a used Maverick. How do I make it mine, delete previous owner's infor?

[doug maverick]

I searched the forums but didn't see this topic. I just purchased a used 2023 Maverick XLT, and now I need to make it my truck, and delete the previous owner.
I just downladed the FORD app, and there is a place in there to make the vehicle mine, and it offers two options:
-Driver reset
-Factory reset

Does anyone here have an opinion on which is the best option? Any other hints about what to do to make this vehicle mine are appreciated.
(I haven't picked up the truck yet.. Should be a few days before the funds clear and he gets the clear title.)

New to this forum and I've already learned so much. Looking forward to finally owning a Maverick hybrid XLT.

Which one should I use?

• Use a system reset for daily glitches to avoid losing your configurations.
• Use a factory reset only if selling the car or if the system is completely broken/unresponsive and a soft reset fails.
