If your Lexus CT 200h is still showing a maintenance reminder after service, you can usually clear it from the instrument display or the touchscreen menu, depending on equipment. This guide covers the Lexus CT 200h (A1) built from 2011 to 2022 with the 2ZR-FXE hybrid powertrain.

- Do not press the brake pedal while switching the ignition on.
- Use the trip button until the display shows TRIP A.

This reset only clears the service reminder. It does not replace the actual maintenance work. If the oil has not been changed or the scheduled inspection has not been completed, reset the indicator only after the required service has been carried out.
