I'm Back With My Rx350 And Need Some Help

[lrmemd]

Hi everyone. My last post was in March just before I picked up my new RX350 in Breakwater Blue Metallic with the sport package. I had been driving BMWs for the last 10 years and my last car was the X5 but I did not like the new X5 that was coming out. This is my first Lexus and it is not bad at all. The sport package makes a big difference in the handling as well as the increased power of the new engine. Very nicely put together and the Lexus customer service is definitely better than BMW.

Does anybody know how to turn off the "Maintenance Required" light? I just had the car serviced and the light came on a few days later. This happened before and the service guy showed me but I don't remember the sequence. It had something to do with pushing a button (odometer?) and turning the key 2 or 3 times in the ignition????

Thanks for the help. :) :)

This is definitely something that is found in the Owner's Manual. Sometimes the answers we seek are closer than we think.

Yoda? Is that you? May the force be with you!

Sorry, it's too early in the morning after a very short night and I couldn't resist.

I have about 4,600 miles on my 08 RX 350. Today the 'Maintenance Required' light started flashing when I started it up, and then went off after a few seconds. Is this just reminding me that my 5K maintenance is coming up soon, or could this be something more serious?

Is this feature designed to come on at or near the 5K mile intervals as a reminder to take the vehicle in for regularly scheduled maintenance?

I googled this question, and scoured my owner's manual with no luck..

Thanks!
