Dear Sir,

I have a Toyota Highlander car year 2005 and just recently there is an orange light which said maint reqd came up near the board near the gas meter.

Please can you explain why does this orange light (maint reqd) came up? Is this a serious notification that I need to check the engine? What is the risk? What can I do when this light come up? What does it mean?

Please help.

Means oil change needed. Just a oil life monitor based on usage.
To reset MAINT reminder indicator after engine oil change:
1. Press the ODO / TRIP switch until odometer displays "ODO".
2. Turn ignition or POWER switch to OFF position with odometer display showing.
3. Turn ignition POWER switch to ON position while holding down trip meter RESET button.
4. Hold trip meter RESET button down for at least 5 seconds. Odometer should indicate "000000", and MAINT reminder light goes out.
