VerifiedI found this info for you, let me know if any work.
All Diesel Models: This will light up every 100,000Kms to remind you that your timing belt must renewed. The belt must be renewed when due as failure of the belt can lead to severe and costly damage to your engine. Do not reset the warning light until the belt has been renewed.
To reset the light various methods are employed for the different Generations as listed below
2nd Gen: On these models there is a rubber bung in the perspex on the clocks. Remove this and using a slender object such as a pencil you can push the reset button.
3rd Gen: On the 3rd Gen it’s somewhat more complicated.
Where conventional dials are fitted, use the following procedure.
Remove Dial/Clocks assembly. (Refer to suitable manual)
At the rear you will find a location where there are two screw holes with a screw fitted to only one of them. Remove this screw and insert in the alternate location hole.
Replace the dials assembly.
Where Optitron (Lexus style with digital odometer) dials are fitted, use the following procedure.
Set the digital display to ODO
Turn off IGN
Holding the TRIP reset button, turn on IGN
Hold TRIP for 5sec.
The digital display will show "1"
Pressing the TRIP will advance the number 1, 2, 3, 4 etc...
Each represents 10,000k. So 10 = 100,000
When you get to "10" press and hold TRIP for 5sec.
Display resets back to the ODO reading
Turn off IGN and then back on.
