The method to reset the Crown oil maintenance light is: 1. With the vehicle started, press the set button on the steering wheel; 2. Press the sel button on the right side of the steering wheel, then immediately press the cancel button on the steering wheel, and the dashboard will display the reset of the vehicle's maintenance light. Taking the 2018 Crown as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized car with body dimensions of: length 5020mm, width 1805mm, height 1480mm, wheelbase of 2925mm, and a body weight of 1660kg. The 2018 Crown features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 235ps, a maximum torque of 350nm, and a maximum power of 173kw, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Resetting the Crown's maintenance light is actually not difficult to operate. I just did it for a friend's car. First, sit in the driver's seat without stepping on the brake, and press the ignition button twice to power up the instrument panel. Then, locate the DISP button with a small house icon on the left side of the steering wheel and press it several times until the OIL MAINTE prompt appears on the instrument screen. At this point, hold down the DISP button for about ten seconds, and the RESET message will appear on the instrument panel. Release the button and wait for the progress bar to complete, and the reset will be successful. Finally, remember to turn off the power and restart the vehicle to check. Note that the button positions may vary slightly depending on the model year. For example, the 2015 model has a TRIP button on the turn signal lever instead of the DISP function. The key to the whole process is to find the button that controls the instrument information. Before proceeding, it's best to check the owner's manual to confirm the corresponding position.
I drive a 2020 Crown and just reset the maintenance light myself last week. The key points involve three steps: first, turn on the power to the dashboard without starting the engine, then press the navigation toggle button on the steering wheel until the oil maintenance menu appears, and finally hold the confirm button until the reset is complete. During actual operation, you'll find that the button must be held long enough—less than 10 seconds won't trigger any response from the system. A little trick is to keep an eye on the dashboard while holding the button; the reset process only starts when you see the progress bar appear. After resetting, it's best to start the engine and drive a few hundred meters to confirm the warning light is truly off. This design mainly reminds us to change the oil on time, and it's actually quite simple to do it yourself. However, new car owners should be careful not to press the brake pedal, as some older models won't enter reset mode if the brake is engaged.
