Скачать или смотреть What Does the Service Required Warning Light Mean?

The “Service Required” or “Maintenance Required” light on your dashboard is a routine reminder—not a warning of a malfunction—typically triggered by mileage or time intervals to alert you it’s time for scheduled maintenance like an oil change or tire rotation. Unlike the “Check Engine” light, which signals a fault, this light is informational and not urgent. Common across brands like Toyota, Honda, BMW, and Ford, the system may use simple mileage tracking or more advanced condition-based logic. When the light appears, refer to your owner’s manual, schedule the appropriate service, and reset the light afterward using the method for your vehicle. While EVs and hybrids also use maintenance reminders, they may show more urgent alerts if electrical components malfunction. Regular maintenance helps ensure your vehicle stays reliable, efficient, and safe.
