Service Light Reset Instructions

Model: Lexus IS MK 2 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Service warning light

The procedure to reset the service light is manual and does not require any diagnostic tools: it is performed with a precise sequence of steps using the trip reset button located at the bottom left of the instrument cluster. Once regular maintenance has been carried out, turn the ignition switch to the "On" position, but do not start the engine (if the car has a start button, press the "Start" button twice without touching the brake pedal), press the trip button until the "ODO" indication is displayed; then, turn the engine "off".
Press and hold the Reset button on the trip odometer and turn the ignition switch to the "On" position (if the car has a start button, press the "Start" button twice without touching the brake pedal); continue to hold the Reset button until "000000" miles is displayed on the screen and the maintenance light turns off.

This video shows how to remove the air vents on an Alfa Romeo 159. Start by using a plastic trim tool to detach the air vents located in the central dashboard; if you have difficulty, obtain metal hooks (as shown in the video) and insert them into the air vent. Once the two hooks are secured to the edges of the air vent, pull them out with your hands until the vent is removed from its housing. Repeat this procedure for the other air vents present on the car's dashboard. Finally, install the new vents.
