Read your user manual. If you don't have it, that is just a reminder to change your oil. You can reset it by pushing the recessed reset button next to it. It will turn red eventually. The dealership will just check your fluids during service intervals and reset it. No biggie.

Just so you know, the main't light is mileage based. It's just a reminder to do whatever maintenance might be coming up.

with car off, hold down trip reset button. turn key to on (but do not crank). continue to hold trip reset button for 10-15 seconds. light will flash, then turn off.

btw, this has been covered quite a few times...
