maint req warning
 

I know that there's a way to disable the MAINT REQ graphic that appears whenever my car wants an oil change. Can anyone help me with this? I think it requires me to hold down the trip mileage button while doing something else...

thanks

Place the trip odometer to "A", turn the car off, push and hold the trip reset button while you start the car, continue holding the button until the maintenance info resets. (I believe this is the correct procedure.)

It's in the owner's manual at the end of the section where it describes the different graphics.

They should have put it with the specific warning notice description.

They should have put a reference to it where it talks about oil changes.

They should have put a reference to it in the index.

I wrote the page number for it in all sorts of other places so next time it won't take me 20 minutes to find it.

Save yourself the aggravation...

takes a few seconds.

Resetting the engine oil maintenance
data

The engine oil maintenance data must be
reset after replacement of the engine oil.
Reset the data by the following procedure:
1. Turn off the hybrid system with the trip
meter A reading shown.
For details, see “—Odometer and two trip
meters” on page 138 in this Section.
2. The “POWER” switch must be set at
ON while holding down the trip meter
reset knob. A message “OIL MILEAGE
RESET MODE” will appear on the display.
3. Hold down the knob at least 5 seconds.
A message “COMPLETE” will appear
and the message “OIL MILEAGE

RESET MODE” goes off.
