As a compact car launched by Toyota in the domestic market, the Corolla has achieved very good sales thanks to Toyota's brand reputation and years of user word-of-mouth. 2. The 2017 Corolla's onboard computer is equipped with a maintenance reminder function. Based on preset mileage or engine operating time, a maintenance prompt will appear on the instrument panel when due, or it may be accompanied by a prompt sound.
As a long-time Corolla owner, resetting the maintenance light on the 2017 model is quite simple and can be done without visiting a dealership. First, turn the key to the OFF position to completely shut off the engine. Then, locate the ODO TRIP button on the dashboard and hold it down. Now, turn the key to the ON position—do not start the engine, just power up the dashboard. Wait patiently for 5 to 10 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance light blink a few times before turning off. This method works on most 2017 Corollas, but if your car has special configurations, the button location might differ, so it's best to check the manual. The maintenance light indicates it's time for an oil change or system check, and failing to reset it promptly can affect the accuracy of future reminders. Regularly resetting the light helps keep your car running smoothly and prevents minor issues from escalating. I recommend resetting it immediately after each maintenance to build a habit that extends your car's lifespan. Having driven other models before, I find this Corolla feature quite user-friendly.
