Default Maintenance Light Turned RED in 2000 EM1

What's Up,
As you probably see in my Sig, I have an si. The car has received a full tune-up every 2500-3000 miles(air filter, oil, oil filter, etc.). When I bought the car it received the Herb Chamber's Honda 100? point inspection(meaning they replaced everything). What I am curious about is the light in the oem si instrument cluster(under the speedometer). This light has now turned red, do I have to go to the dealer to have it reset, or fixed. The car runs fine, and has received all proper maintenance....it's due for it's next tune up in 200 miles.
Anyone have this happen.......am I over reacting........does it mean anything else
O and I don't have a owner's manual

I would take it to honda and ask them, just to make sure but if u know its well maintained and runs fine go to honda and let them reset it im sure they can do something like that.

Put a key in the indented button and it will turn to green. I usually do that after every tune up.

Edit: I wonder if your talking about what I'm thinking. Its a square-ish box that turns green or red, depending on when your tune up was done.

Also, have you looked at your manual. It will tell you.

Yes, i'm talking about the small square box under the speedometer, and I do not have an owner's manual. Thanks for the help though.

Calm down
It's an indicator light for when you're due for an oil change. I believe it turns red every 5k miles (don't quote me though, possibly wrong). Just stick your key or something in that little hole in the instrument cluster and it will turn green again.

Is it even a light? I've been curious. I think its just a small bar that acts somewhat like a trip meter, instead of rolling #'s by, it rolls colors by. States right in the owners manual it goes...........orange @ 5000, and red @ 7000? Or something like that, I dont quite recall, and its too cold out for me to go look it up right now.

No worries guy, just press the key into the little slot and it will pop back to green.
