no you don't.

turn the ignition on, but don't start. hold the select and reset buttons down together for about 10 seconds (until the maint light flashes), then start car

problem solved!

that service light will come on every 7000 miles i believe to remind you to do regular maintenance such as oil change

I may be off on my CL knowledge, but doesn't the light have to come on and remain on before it can be reset ?

For some odd reason I want to say yes.
