maintenance required light, Toyota Prius
Here is how to fix it.
(It is a reminder to change the oil. It does not tell you how dirty or not your oil is. You should change your oil regularly, even more often that what your owner’s manual recommends, in my opinion, and not rely on this light but instead the sticker on your windshield as to when you need an oil change.)
First:
Power the ignition on by pressing the power button twice and not stepping on the brake pedal.
Second:
Put the trip meter – odometer in the normal (odometer miles) position. Turn the power button off.
Third:
Press the big power button twice without touching the brake while holding down the ODO trip meter reset button for at least 5 seconds. The display will read 000000 then will display your mileage and then the message will be reset.
