If im not mistaking, this is how you reset the Maint. required light:
Turn car off, hold the 'odometer trip reset/interior light dimmer' **** down for 15-20 seconds, and then turn the car on.

All that light does is let you know you need routine maintenence. If you get your car serviced at the dealer like i do, then they'll reset it for you.
Dont panic when you see it though. If im wrong on that though, i apologize, as ive never had to do it myself. It is in the owners manual i know for sure, but im too lazy to go get mine on my day off.

An old thread about it.

This info should be added to the FAQ thread.

When the Check Engine light goes on, that's when you have something to worry about.
