Last week I just reset the maintenance light on my Camry by myself, and it was actually quite simple. First, you need to sit in the car without starting the engine—just turn on the power by pressing the start button twice to illuminate the dashboard. Then, look for the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the settings menu. Go into the vehicle settings, and you'll find the maintenance reset option. The key is to perform this operation while the engine is off—I forgot this the first time I tried and couldn't get it to work. Finally, hold the confirmation button for about five seconds to successfully reset it. After resetting, the maintenance reminder disappears, but remember to stick to the manual's recommended service intervals next time—don't slack off.
The maintenance light reset is quite important for daily car use. If not reset in time, the little wrench icon will keep illuminating and distract your vision. The method is: after getting in the car, don't start the engine, just power on until the dashboard lights up, then use the steering wheel controls to locate the maintenance settings menu, enter and select to reset the maintenance data. The whole process takes just two minutes, and you'll receive a confirmation prompt upon completion. Additional reminder: after resetting, don't forget to record the actual maintenance date in your phone or service manual, so you won't forget to service on time next time. Timely maintenance in the first few years of a new car is particularly crucial to avoid many potential issues.
