Oil Change Reminder in 2005 Prius

Posted by Kim Rogoff on June 18, 2006, 1:30 am

I changed my own oil and filter before the 5000 mile reminder went off.  Now
at 5000 miles, the Maintenance Reminder Light blinks.  I know there is some
way to reset this by starting the car with your finger on certain buttons.
Does anyone know this proceedure?  I'd love to know.  Thanks

It's in the maintenance manual. I don't remember the page, but you will
find it.
