SO i was driving on the highway, getting off the exit and the light came on for 10 seconds (blinking) then shut off!

 

It's a reminder light that triggers every 7k or so miles. It's time to change your oil etc... Reset it by holding the Trip button while you turn the key to the ON position.

 

If you don't reset it, after several miles (something like 1500 or 2000??) it will stay on permanetly. If you have regular intervals that you change your oil, just disregard it.

 

the maintenance light needs to be reset. it was flashing for your oil change. see below:

"Resetting the MAINTENANCE REQUIRED Light

The Maint. Req. light acts as a reminder for you change the oil change. It's set to follow the "normal" maintenance schedule. This light works in a couple stages. Initially when xxxx milage is reached the like will blink a few times every time you start the car. Eventually when you have driven another xxx miles the light stays solid until you reset it, but the light can be reset anytime by following the steps below.



It's the one on the right it says "MANT REQ"

* - Put the key in the ignition and in the "OFF/LOCKED" Position.
* - Hold the Trip/Reset Button on the right bottom corner of your gauge cluster (see pic)
* - Now - Turn key to the "ON" Position while continuing to hold the Trip/Reset Button till the light goes off.
* ***If the light is still at the "blinking" stage and not yet solid - continue to Hold the button for around 25-30 seconds just to make sure it resets. ***"
