How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Highlander?
2 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance light on a Highlander is: 1. Turn off the engine and press and hold the short-distance trip meter reset button located below the tachometer; 2. Turn the ignition to the ON position, release the short-distance trip meter reset button, and the SERVICE indicator will appear on the display; 3. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right, the mileage will be displayed on the screen; 4. Turn off the engine, then turn the ignition to the ON position to complete the reset. The Highlander is a large SUV produced by Toyota, with dimensions of 4795mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1760mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2790mm. The second row of seats can slide forward and backward by 120mm and features a fold-down function in proportion. The middle seat can also be freely removed and reconfigured.
I've helped my friend reset the maintenance light several times. First, power on the car without starting the engine, then locate the small black cylindrical button in the instrument panel button area below the left side of the steering wheel. While holding it down, turn the key to the ON position. You'll see a countdown progress bar appear on the dashboard. Keep holding until the progress bar completes, and the maintenance light will turn off. Remember to do this immediately after maintenance, otherwise the next service interval calculation will be inaccurate. The Highlander's design is quite annoying - unlike German cars that can be reset with a computer. I recommend asking the mechanic to reset it right after maintenance to save yourself the trouble.
