I've tried following the instructions in the owner's manual several times with no success. Has anyone been able to get rid of the "maintenance required soon" message that pops up around 4500 miles?
For the 2010 set the Trip display to Trip A, power the car down, hold down the MPH/KPH button while pressing the Power button. A screen will display showing percent reset completion. Once completed release the MPH/KPH button.
I do my own oil changes and minor maintenance. This one threw me as well. I followed the instructions on page 349 of the manual about a hundred times (you know what they say about doing the same thing and expecting a different result, right?) feeling more insane each time. Relax - What the manual does NOT rell you is that you've got to do it FAST before the little cartoon vanishes. That's all there is to it. Please thank me
You are the man!!! Thank you! I was 3 more tries away from committing suicide. Have you noticed that there is a LOT of stuff missing from the Toyota manuals? Other than 20 pages on how to install your floormats? I think they have misplaced their focus a bit.
Funny because I just learned the FAST trick last week while clearing mine. If you do it too slowly, like I did, you delete your trip statistics.
