Default Maint Req'd light blinks for 5 seconds at startup

I was driving home to philly from DC over the weekend and during the drive, the maintenance required light started blinking for about 5 seconds then quit. Now it seems that whenever I turn my car on, the light will now blink for about 5 seconds. I don't remember that happening before.

I checked all my fluids and they seem normal. I did get new rear tires, but that's about it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Your MR Light will stop "Blinking" soon and will stay "ON" All the time! It is just a reminder for service intervals, oil changes etc..... Your car is NOT going to "Blow-Up"Your "Owners Manuel " will tell you how to re-set! Very simple. If you would rather, your dealership will re-set it for you. Also....Many, many "Posts" on the re-set procedure.

the light blinks because it knows you have not read your owner's manual. once you read it, it will stop blinking.
