Hey guys! Today I will show you guys how to reset the maint reqd or maintenance required light on Toyota Avensis. This way is pretty much the same as most Toyota cars. This is very easy for you cause you don’t need software or anything like that. So you can do it at home, but the thing is to make sure you do a service before you reset it.
So every time you see this message, this is maintenance required. This is nothing big deal, and this is needed to, you know, change engine oil and check up maintaining stuff like tire pressure, brakes, light bulbs, and something like that’s regular stuff. So let’s go ahead and reset it.

The principle is the same as the previous generation to reset the maintenance light on the 2014 Toyota Avensis. But keep in mind to make sure you are in TRIP A. So let’s do it.
If your vehicle has an ignition button, press the START/STOP button two times without stepping on the brake pedal
So the most important thing you have to do is go to TRIP A. There’s a TRIP/ODO button on the left side and you click that and make sure that it’s on Trip A
If you have on TRIP A as I’ve done, all we need to do is turn off the car
After that, you need to hold down the TRIP/ODO button here, and while you press it you turn on the ignition without starting the car
Keeping the TRIP/ODO button pressed and then you will see up at the top that it’s resetting the oil maintenance data so then it’s reset
All right, today we got a 2018 Toyota Avensis here, it’s a diesel one I think it’s pretty much the same on the petrol as well. So we’re gonna go ahead and reset the oil maintenance. It’s quite a simple one, so let’s reset it.
For your info, this operation work for the second and third generations of the Toyota Avensis (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 model years).
The Toyota Avensis has always been viewed as a cut above its main family car rivals. So it might be a surprise that it undercuts most of them on price and running costs. Let’s see what else it has going for it you.
Won’t feel shortchanged by the way the Avensis performs. Whether you choose from one of the two petrol engines or three diesel units on offer, the car is set up to give you an easy life. It’s most at home cruising on motorways, but it’s not out of its depth on winding roads either. The ride is decent when you’re up to speed with the steering light and gear changes sweet.
The Toyota Avensis is a quiet car, remarkably hushed around town. You can barely hear the engines when idle work them hard, and they can get a little gruff, but the diesel settles to subtle background harm on the motorway.
The interior is bland and isn’t a match for the style of cars such as the Ford Mondeo, although it is solidly built and easy to use. The layout is so intuitive you could work your way around the dashboard with your eyes closed. The one exception is its electronic handbrake. It is poorly positioned by your knee and is counterintuitive because you push it to pull it on.
The Toyota Avensis isn’t as spacious as a Ford Mondeo, but it provides lots of head and legroom, and the flat floor makes things reasonably comfortable for a central rear passenger. The luggage isn’t as large as a Mondeo, but it doesn’t fall far short, so it’s massive nonetheless. The back seat split and folds, although the saloon body limits what you can load compared to the hatchback.
The Toyota Avensis is comparable in price to its key rivals, but in the long term, it should hold its value better than a Ford Mondeo. You might not get a massive discount on it, but decent savings should be possible. The 2-liter diesel engine emits less carbon dioxide than most rivals which keeps company car tax bills low.
The Toyota Avensis doesn’t provide the same feel-good factor as some rivals. The design and materials in the cabin are too bland for that. Everything feels solidly built, and Toyota consistently scores well in our reliability and customer satisfaction surveys. The extensive list of safety kits is impressive too.
The Toyota Avensis is straightforward to drive and live with. It has low running costs on its side, and it’s well equipped too. It’s a shame that it’s just a bit bland inside and out and falls a little short in terms of performance. It’s a good all-rounder but not quite good enough to beat the likes of Ford Mondeo.
If you have the 2016 Avensis with a gasoline engine, you’ll need about 4.4 quarts of SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil.
The motor oil must be of SAE viscosity grade 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40, or 5W-30, and it must also conform to the Longlife-04 specification. Toyota advises using “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 5W-30 Premium Fuel Economy for 1WW/2WW engines”.
The 2018 Avensis has an oil capacity of 5.5 US quarts in its diesel engine.
So that’s how you reset maintenance required light on Toyota Avensis. They have all reset done and dusted guys. It only takes two minutes to reset it; you don’t need software or anything like that, but as I mentioned and everybody on every single order to service reset, make sure you do a service or change the oil and oil filter so you can reset it. So thanks for your time, and have a great time.
