The flashing maintenance light means it is time to get the car serviced. There is an internal counter.
Pretty soon, the maintenance light will be on permanently. You will need to reset the counter to turn it off.
IIRC, with the car off, press both the mph/kmh button and trip meter button at the same time and hold it down while turning the key into the on position. Wait 10 seconds for the maintenance light to flash. That should clear the counter.

IIRC = if I recall forrectly.

All the dealer will do when you take your car in for servicing is ask you how many KM's the car has and how big your payroll is.

In your owner's manual (if you have yours), there is a section on what maintenance is required at different intervals.

On the S2k, all "A" intervals is just a oil change, at the B intervals, there is supposed to be an inspection of the car (annual servicing - Honda wanted 200 bucks for it).

In the B intervals, there is also a number code, like B1 - B6 I believe and for each of those, other things are needed, like flushing the coolant, changing brakes, etc.

You should look it up and see which one you need...
