Hold the two buttons on the gauge cluster (Select and Reset).

Insert key and turn it two clicks. You don't have to start the car.

All the lights will come on and do their thing. Keep holding the buttons.

The Maintenance Required light will go off after a few seconds.

You're all set.

The maint req light is nothing but a dummy light. Its pre programed to turn on ever 7500 miles to remind you to change your oil. Its supposed to be reset at every oil change. That light means nothing more.
