I have seen answers on how to do this with a keyed highlander but it requires turning the key into the on position.  There is no such thing with the smart entry system as all you have is a start button.

How do you reset Toyota maintenance light?

Put your key in the ignition and turn it to position one, the position just before starting the car. Push and hold the trip meter reset button on the dashboard, then turn your key to position two. Continue holding the odometer button for 10 seconds. The light should then flash, possibly beep, and then go out.
