Model: Toyota Avensis T250, MK 2 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Service warning light

The service interval for vehicles, in general, and not just for the 2008 Toyota Avensis, is indicated by the service light, represented by a glowing spanner often accompanied by a message on the onboard computer. When it lights up, you need to replace the engine oil and the filter, remembering that all specifications for each service, upon reaching a certain mileage, are detailed in the user and maintenance manual. Here’s how to proceed with the reset: press and hold the button to the left of the rev counter while turning on the instrument panel, wait a few seconds for the fault light to turn off, release the button, and then turn off the panel.
