i did it before but i can't remember..... it's annoying me.. thanks

 

I found it in the "Library" a couple of days ago, but now I can't find it anymore!

Anyway, the steps are...

1. Put key in ignition
2. Push trip reset button, continue to hold button for 10 seconds
3. Turn key to next position
4. Hold button for approximately 10 seconds or until light stays off.

BTW, I suggest doing the actual required maintenance before you reset the light.

 

what exactly is the required maintenace?

 

Depends on your mileage. It should be in your owner's manual.

 

don't have the owners manual.... i bought the car used.... it has 18000 miles on it... anything i should do?

 

Yes. Get an owner's manual.

I don't have mine with me, but typical maintenance items should be....

Oil + Filter change
coolant flush
tranny fluid change
diff fluid change
check brakes + rotors,
etc.

Too much stuff to list, and probably not all of those before 18k. Try looking in the Library or doing a search.

 

The light comes on based on scheduled mileage for oil changes, etc. If you do your own maintenance or use synthetic oils, just re-set it. Mine came on a few days ago because I've put 3K on my car in 3 weeks but I just got the oil changed prior to the move from Vermont to Miami with Castrol Syntec so I just reset the light and will do another oil change in a few weeks.

 

Have you checked the secret compartment for the owners manual? Most people put them there.
