Default Maintenance Light came on

I was driving kinda hard today and the when I got home and parked, the rpm went up and down a little and the Maintenance light came on? Anyone might know the reason for this? Am I just driving the car too hard?

Maybe it's time to get it serviced? Check manual and check your mileage if it's time to do a service at a dealer or by yourself.

the MAINT REQ'D light is just to let you know to check all fluids and stuff. you can reset it yourself once you do that, or take it to your dealer for them to take care of it all (not recommended). a CHECK ENGINE light or any other indicator that stays on is what signals a real problem.

RUN LIKE HELL! SHE'S GONNA BLOW!

PS. Have you considered reading the owner's manual to see what it says about this light?
