2 Answers
The steps to manually reset the maintenance light on a Corolla 1.2t are as follows: 1. Insert the car key and start the vehicle. 2. Press the MODE button on the left multifunction steering wheel. 3. Click the DISP button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel to clear the maintenance reminder light. Here are some relevant details about the Corolla: 1. The Corolla is equipped with Michelin 215/45R17 tires, TRD-Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD-TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads, ensuring excellent sports performance. 2. The advantages of the Corolla include low fuel consumption, comfortable ride, smooth driving, and a rich array of user-friendly interior configurations.
When I first drove my Corolla 1.2T, I also encountered the maintenance light staying on, which was really annoying. The manual reset is quite simple: after turning off the engine, hold down the ODO or TRIP button on the dashboard without releasing it, turn the key to the ON position (the position where the engine isn't started), and then wait patiently for about ten seconds. When you see the maintenance light start flashing or go off directly, you can let go. The whole process takes just about ten seconds, and the light will be gone after resetting. But I must remind you, resetting is one thing, but don't slack on maintenance. The Corolla 1.2T has a turbo, so regular oil changes and filter checks are essential for longevity. I suggest setting a calendar reminder right after resetting to schedule regular maintenance and avoid small issues turning into big problems. Also, pay attention to the RPM while driving to protect the engine—that's the real key.
