This document provides a quick training guide for resetting maintenance reminders on the 2015 Lexus NX 300h and NX 200t models. It outlines the function, usage, and maintenance features related to two distinct maintenance reminder systems: an oil maintenance reminder and a general scheduled maintenance reminder.

Function Description:

The 2015 Lexus NX 300h and NX 200t are equipped with two separate maintenance reminder systems. The first is a new oil maintenance reminder system, which calculates the remaining mileage until an oil change is needed. This calculation is dynamic, based on factors such as fuel consumption, engine coolant temperature, and vehicle speed. This system is distinct from the second, a more general scheduled maintenance reminder system, which alerts the driver for other scheduled services typically occurring every 5,000 miles (e.g., tire rotation). It is crucial for technicians and owners to understand that these are independent systems, each requiring its own specific reset procedure. The oil maintenance reminder provides alerts when the remaining mileage reaches 500 miles ("Oil Maintenance Required Soon") and when it reaches 0 miles ("Oil Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer").

Usage Features:

Both maintenance reminder systems are managed and reset through the vehicle's multi-information display, utilizing the steering wheel switches for navigation and selection.

For the Oil Maintenance Reminder System:

• Checking Remaining Mileage: To view the remaining miles until the next oil change, the user needs to press the ODO/TRIP switch. This cycles through the odometer and trip meters (ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → Miles to next oil change → ODO). This allows the customer or technician to verify the current oil change interval.
• Reset Procedure: After an oil change service, the reminder is reset via the multi-information display.
  1. Use the steering wheel switches to navigate to the settings menu.
  2. Scroll down to locate and select "Maintenance System (Reset Oil Maint. Data)."
  3. Confirm the reset by selecting "Yes" when prompted "Do You Want to Initialize?".

For the Scheduled Maintenance Reminder System:

• Reset Procedure: After completing any scheduled maintenance (excluding an oil change), this reminder is also reset through the multi-information display using the steering wheel switches.
  1. Use the steering wheel switches to navigate to the settings menu.
  2. Scroll down to locate and select "Scheduled Maintenance (Reset Scheduled Maint. Data)."
  3. Confirm the reset by selecting "Yes" when prompted "Reset Data?".

Maintenance Features:

The primary maintenance feature described is the ability to reset the two distinct reminder systems. This ensures that the vehicle accurately tracks and alerts the driver for upcoming service needs.

Important Considerations (Hints and Tips):

• Independence of Systems: A critical point emphasized is that resetting the oil maintenance reminder does not reset the scheduled maintenance reminder, and vice-versa. These are entirely separate systems requiring individual reset procedures.
• Variable Oil Change Interval: The oil change interval is dynamic and will vary based on individual customer driving habits. Consequently, it is unlikely to coincide perfectly with other scheduled maintenance items that typically occur at fixed intervals (e.g., every 5,000 miles).
• Customer Satisfaction: To enhance customer satisfaction, technicians are advised to verify if any additional services might be needed soon when a vehicle comes in for maintenance. This allows customers the option to complete multiple services early, potentially avoiding a second visit in a short timeframe. This proactive approach helps manage customer expectations regarding the variable nature of the oil change interval versus fixed scheduled maintenance.

The document includes visual aids, such as images of the steering wheel controls and the multi-information display, to guide users through the navigation and selection processes for both reset procedures. These images show the relevant menu options and prompts that appear on the display during the reset sequence. The compass display (N, W, E, S) and mileage display (e.g., "9999 miles," "2259 miles," "2193.4 miles") are also visible in the provided images, illustrating the vehicle's dashboard interface.
