man with 220 posts, you should know how to search by now.

That light means nothing, all it is, the dealership is trying to remind you to come to them for an oil change or whatever, so they can steal some money from you.

Hold the Select and Reset buttons, and start the car....keep on holding both buttons until the Maintenance light dissappears.

peace

its a light thats supposed to be reset at every oil change. it goes off close to 7500 miles letting you know that its time to change your oil (yes 7500 miles. something else the manual would tell you too!)

It tells you in the manual how to reset the light, just follow the directions, works like a charm, I do it all the time

you know what i've noticed, is that no one ever reads the whole thread before posting, thus everyone posts the same info.
