How does one reset the maintenance light that is now blinking about 5 times when I first start the car?

 

You should have received a manual with your car. It is in there what to do and how to do it. Reading is fundamental.. YMMV

 

turn off the car.

press the trip odometer select and reset buttons and hold them down. Turn your iginition switch on. Hold the buttons down until the light stops flashing and it should be reset.

I love it when acura services my car and does not reset the light. Then I get a courtesy call asking (when I am not home) how was the service.

I can see the tech had a eye for detail.

 

OK, now he won't read the manual, and won't know what the "blinking light means".. If he runs out of "Blinker Fluid" it's all your fault..
