To reset the maintenance light, turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine. Press the odometer button until "Trip A" is displayed.

The 2017 Toyota Avalon is recommended to use SAE 0W-20 synthetic motor oil. This type of oil helps improve fuel efficiency and ensures optimal performance.
To connect your smartphone via Bluetooth, turn on your phone's Bluetooth and go to the setup menu on the Avalon's infotainment system. Select "Bluetooth" and then "Add New Device." Follow the prompts on both your phone and the vehicle's display to complete the pairing process.
If the engine overheats, first turn off the air conditioning and turn on the heater to maximum heat to help draw heat away from the engine. Pull over safely, turn off the engine, and allow it to cool. Check coolant levels and for any visible leaks. Seek professional help if necessary.
To change the cabin air filter, open the glove box and remove the damper arm. Press the sides of the glove box inward to lower it. Remove the filter cover behind the glove box and replace the old filter with a new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct.
The squealing noise during braking is often due to worn-out brake pads. It's advisable to inspect the brake pads and replace them if they are worn. If the pads are in good condition, the rotors or calipers may need attention.
The recommended tire pressure for the 2017 Toyota Avalon is typically 33 psi for both front and rear tires. Always check the vehicle's placard located on the door jamb for the most accurate information.
To jump-start the Avalon, first turn off both vehicles. Connect the positive cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then to the positive terminal of the good battery. Connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the good battery and the other end to an unpainted metal surface on the Avalon. Start the assisting vehicle, then the Avalon.
To operate the cruise control, press the "On" button on the steering wheel. Accelerate to your desired speed, then press the "Set" button. Use the "Up" and "Down" buttons to adjust speed and the "Cancel" button to disengage, or simply tap the brake pedal.
Common causes for a check engine light include a loose gas cap, faulty oxygen sensor, failing catalytic converter, or issues with the ignition system. It's best to have the vehicle scanned for diagnostic trouble codes to determine the exact cause.
