It just means you need to rotate the tires

It's only a basic timer , it starts every 4500 miles flashing then it'll be on constant at 5000 miles just reset it yourself, it means nothing. It's just a reminder

just looked up in the owners manual, it's basically the same way as resetting the oil procedure. can you chime in on that.

Yes same procedure, I do mine with my service as I do all my own maintenance. It's good to know how to do sometimes the dealers forget to reset after a service .Push down the reset button turn the key wait .... Super easy.

got it, thanks for chiming in. i will reset it tomorrow. so basically this light comes on every 5k and you just do the required maintenance and reset the light. it's a little different than my tacoma.

I have always found the message "maintenance required" a little funny. People seem to equate "maintaining" the vehicle with "omg fml something is terribly wrong". An oil change light would probably make better sense - given that the new 14+ have a frigging screen it should literally tell you what to do, not give some bs cryptic message that anyone who didn't read the manual will not understand. Every 5 k, rotate your tires - they will last a lot longer, and then reset the light. At 10 k have the oil changed and reset the light.

I use the maintenance app and i think it works well. You can set reminders for all sorts of stuff as well as some custom reminders. I use those over anything else.

I'm not sure if you need a specific Entune edition or not...

I do the same thing and it works great. Did the same in my Lexus and was happy to see that the 4runner had the same option. (at least my '15 TEP does).

So just to clarify then, the "Maintenance Required" light does in fact serve as a reminder for the periodic oil change, right?

Mine also lights up every 5k miles. But, as I understand it, the suggested oil change frequency for synthetic oil is 10k miles for our 4runner, right?
