Resetting the maintenance light on your Lexus RX 350 or RX 450h is a straightforward process that helps keep track of regular service intervals. This light appears as a reminder to perform essential maintenance tasks, such as oil changes, and resetting it ensures accurate notifications for future services.

Steps to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Lexus RX 350 and RX 450h

  • Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position without starting the engine.
  • Use the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the “Settings” menu on the multi-information display.
  • Select “Maintenance” or “Vehicle Settings,” then find the “Oil Maintenance” option.
  • Press and hold the “OK” button until the maintenance light begins to blink and then resets.
  • Turn off the ignition and then start the engine to confirm the maintenance light has been reset.

For models without the steering wheel controls, you may need to use the odometer reset button. In that case, turn the ignition to “ON,” press and hold the odometer reset button until the maintenance light blinks and then turns off.

Why Resetting the Maintenance Light is Important

Resetting the maintenance light after completing scheduled services ensures your Lexus alerts you accurately about upcoming maintenance needs. This helps maintain your vehicle’s performance and longevity, preventing potential issues caused by delayed servicing.
