Default noob question - what is the upcoming maintenance?

Sorry to be a noob--I've had this car for over two years, and the warning light comes on and says maintenance will be required soon. I went through the vehicle's setup/maintenance menu, as well as logging in to drivers.lexus.com--was never able to figure out what car is about to need. What am I missing? (2015 LS with 16k miles)

Mine usually comes on when it needs an oil change (5k mi maintenance increments).

The recommended maintenance schedule is delineated in the owner's manual and is also outlined at the Lexus drivers site both in terms of mileage and age.

That's what it was. Took it to the dealer for an oil change and replace air filters, but they forgot to reset the warning; so I had to learn how to do it myself. I manually reset three items in the maintenance menu: engine oil, oil filter, and air filter. When you enter the date of last service you get an option to reset it. Resetting those three made the warning stop.

Oil is supposed to be good for 10k miles, right? Weird that the warning comes on every 5k miles, but I guess the maintenance schedule does recommend something every 5k.

So, I was wrong. The "maintenance required soon" light is back or never went away. I read the manual, tried everything I could find in the Setup | Vehicle | Maintenance menu.

Does anybody know how to turn this off?

Found youtube video that shows holding down the reset button while turning the car on to accessory (two pushes no brake press). Will try that and report back...
