Check Coolant Additive - Reset

How do I reset the "Check Coolant Additive" message. Pressing OK turns it off until I restart the engine.

You can turn it off by cycling through the message centre and reset it that way.

Toggle down to the bottom or near the bottom...I forget it now as not in the truck and then use the arrows to find the reset.

I've been through the message center many times and looked at everything. System check brings up the warning but I'm not seeing how to reset it. Very frustrating. The diesel owners manual explains the warning but does not say how to reset it. I'm not one to ask for help until I've tried everything.

Thanks, I went down that path but I guess not far enough. I don't understand why Ford doesn't have a message center Flow Chart in the manual. That would help dummies like me.
