This tutorial shows the steps to reset the maintenance light on a Toyota Rav 4. The operation is very simple; first, get into the car and turn on the instrument panel by pressing the start/stop button twice without starting the engine. At this point, on the right above the steering wheel, you will find the "disp" button and you need to press it to access the settings menu; when you see the "trip A" message, press and hold the disp button for a few seconds while simultaneously turning off and on the panel using the engine start/stop button.

Once the panel is back on, you can release the button, and the reset will be complete. To verify the operation, turn off the panel and turn it back on, this time starting the engine.
