Tried of the IDIOT Lights

My owner's manual stolen and I've been playing it by lights. Can anybody tell me if there is a "maintenace" (maint req'd light is on solid) alert at 108,000. If you could be kind enough to list the items needing check, it would be greatly appreciated. 1999 TL 3.2 with Nav.

Thanks in advance

The light is a timed light that just goes on on a mileage count. I think it is every 5000 miles or maybe 7500 miles. It does not require any particular "maintenance" or a dealer visit. To reset it you just hold down the reset button for the tripometer and turn the key to the on position..or it may be that you have to hold both the reset and the select button down and turn the key from off to on without starting the car. I am not exactly sure but if you try those two things a time or two I am sure it will go off.

The required maintenance is based on mileage. There is recommended maintenance every 15,000 miles (excluding oil changes and such)

The maintenance is the same at 115,000 miles as it is at 15,000 miles. Provided everything has been done to that point.
