Before you turn your ignition from the lock position to the 'standby' (ie electronics lights go on) ... hold BOTH reset and select buttons for 5 seconds ... the maintenance light goes off. It's just a reminder light.

As for the Maint required light its in your manual on how to reset it.
With the car off,Press and hold the Trip and Reset light with 1 hand, while holding them BOTH in turn your key
to the RUN position (not start but run) and continue to hold them in till they turn off. It takes about 10 seconds.
If you turn the key and then press teh buttons in you will change the Outside Temp settings
In summary its a Dummy light set for every 7500 miles (from time its reset) to inform you its time to change your oil
