Default How do you reset the Maintenance Required Light?

I tried to search, but couldn't find another similar thread.

I have searched my daughters Owners Manual but could not find how to reset the Maintenance Required lamp. I do all the oil changes and maintenance for her, but I can't reset the lamp.

Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, I just went back to edit the post and pay the courtesy of identifying the car.

It is an '03 Civic

Thanks,

Take the key out of the ignition. Push and hold the trip button on the cluster. Put the key in and turn the ignition on. The light will go out after 10 or so seconds. Turn the key off, then finally, release the trip button.

Easy.

Take your right hand and reach behind the kick panel just under your steering column and feel for a square button. Push it and hold it in until the light goes out. Works with the car on or the key turned in the "on" position just before cranking the car.

Stick the key into the little slot in the cluster next to the little indicatior that cycles from green, to yellow, then red and you'll feel it "click" as it turns back to green.

It's not really a "light" on those cars.
