A Toyota Prius’ maintenance light can be reset easily and quickly in a matter of minutes. Start by parking the car and closing all of the doors. Don’t start the engine while turning the ignition key to the ON position. If your ignition is a push button, you must press the start/stop button twice without applying the brake. To access the settings menu, use the arrow navigation buttons in the left cluster of steering wheel controls. Select OK once you’ve navigated to the menu for the car settings. Select MAINTENANCE SYSTEM, then hit OK. Look for OIL MAINTENANCE on that menu, then hit OK once again. When a confirmation notice appears, choose YES, and then click OK. To confirm that the reset has been retained, turn off the ignition and then start the car.
Toyota Priuses’ “maintenance required” light can be reset by pressing the power button twice, the odometer button, which is located below the multifunction display, once to turn the vehicle off, the odometer button, while holding it down, and the power button twice (2 times), all while keeping your foot off the brake. Hold the odometer button down while you wait for the flashing dashes to stop and the reading to return.
For a 2014 Prius, turn the trip odometer to “trip A,” start the vehicle, push and hold the MPH/KMH button, turn the ignition off while holding the button, turn the ignition back on while holding the button, and watch the reset take place.
