Click the [Vehicle Settings] icon on the multimedia controller home page interface. Eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults from occurring, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Enter the vehicle settings interface. Car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance scope of the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, etc. Click to set the on/off of maintenance reminders and the number of months and mileage of the maintenance cycle. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy, and the technical condition normal. Click the reset button to restore to the default cycle value. Car maintenance refers to regular inspection, cleaning, replenishment, and lubrication of relevant parts of the car.

I've been driving a Camry for ten years and have reset the maintenance light several times myself. The method is quite simple: first, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, just powering up the dashboard. Then, press and hold the ODO or TRIP button on the steering wheel dashboard for 5-10 seconds without releasing it, and you'll notice the maintenance light starts blinking or turns off. At this point, turn off the key, release the button, and quickly press and release the button once more. Finally, start the car, and the light should be gone. If it doesn't work, it might be due to the model year; pre-2015 models all use this method, while newer models like those from 2020 onwards require accessing the settings menu and navigating to the steering wheel control options to reset. Remember, after resetting, don't forget to perform maintenance checks. Regular maintenance can prevent engine wear and extend the vehicle's lifespan. Every time I reset it, I ensure a more worry-free drive, avoiding the distraction of the constantly flashing reminder light.

As a safety-conscious veteran driver, I strongly recommend promptly resetting the Camry maintenance light. Reset procedure: Turn the key to the ON position to power up the vehicle, then press and hold the ODO button. After a few seconds, the light will go out - then turn off the ignition. This step informs the system you've completed maintenance, preventing false alerts. Procedures vary by model year; older models can be reset directly with the button, while newer versions may require accessing the settings menu to select the reset option. Don't panic if unsuccessful - consult the owner's manual to confirm and avoid mistakes. I've found that neglecting reset causes persistent lighting that distracts drivers, especially during nighttime highway driving - a serious safety hazard. Now I've developed the habit of immediately resetting after maintenance, plus checking fluid levels and brakes, ensuring worry-free family trips.

I usually reset the maintenance light on my Camry by myself. The key is to turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine, then press and hold the ODO button on the dashboard until the maintenance light blinks or goes off. Turn off the ignition and press the button once more, then start the vehicle to complete the process. The whole thing takes less than a minute—super convenient. Remember, the method might vary slightly by model year; for example, my 2018 model works this way, but my friend's 2022 model requires doing it through the vehicle's system. After resetting, the light's gone, my mood lifts, driving feels smoother, and it saves me from unnecessary maintenance issues.

I've been driving a Camry for several years and noticed differences in maintenance light reset procedures across model years. For my 2010 model: Turn ignition ON, hold TRIP button until light goes off, then turn key OFF. But my brother's 2021 model requires accessing the setup menu via steering wheel buttons for maintenance reset. The steps are generally similar - if it doesn't work first time, try again. Always consult your owner's manual for year-specific instructions. After resetting, I recommend checking tire pressure and oil level while you're at it. Proper maintenance prevents minor issues and saves big money. The timely reset reminds you of next service interval - quite practical.
