You got a collector's manual.!!!
I haven't owned my S long enough to have any dash lights come on. I'm going to have to get the book out and look up what to watch out for.

Well, that answered my question. The last time that light was reset, was 2.5 years ago. That was 7500 miles ago.
But nobody told me the page numbers for the owners manual. I don't think it's included in mine. It talked about all the other lights, like check engine, abs, etc. but not about the maint req'd light.

It IS in your owner's manual.

with everyone else the maint. light comes on after so many amounts of miles u hold in ur trip button while u turn the key to acc and it will blink and then click off and reset it self. It's the easy mod you can do to your s besides puttin a sticker on it... 
. btw Does anyone know where i can get one of those collectors manuals??

Still, nobody has given page numbers for the manual.
I don't mean this as a flame, I just really think everyone needs to read the owners manual. Tons of good info in there.

I suggest reading every page of the manual, you'll learn a bit about your car.

How do you like those CG locks? I'm considering.
