I'd tell you to Search but unless there is someone who misspells exactly like you, you wouldn't find the thread.

Maintenance Required (LIGHT)

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!

The 54 threads that come up when you search "maintenance light" must be mind boggling...

The "Newbies please read before posting!" thread is also working...

Which one to click... nooooooo LOL

For me, I never could remember the steps but I know enough to play with the Trip A or Trip B and the key in ON/Off (without starting the car)... of cause I end up resetting both trip A and B. There goes my mpg calculation. LOL

a) With the Engine ON click your Odometer/TripA/TripB selector knob so

b) Turn the car off
c) Turn the key 1 click to ACC (accessory mode)
d) While in ACC, press and hold the selector knob in (don't worry that
can't see anything on the dashboard.)
e) While you are still holding the selector knob, click the key 1 more
position to the ON position.
f) If you do it correctly, you will see the TripA display change to some
numbers and then start blinking quickly. you will also see the MAINT
REQD blinking quickly. After about 5 seconds of holding the knob in
the display should show 0000000000000 then go away.
Start the car up, and no more MAINT REQD light until you put another 4500miles on the car!

how does one not have a manual for a new car?

they should print this instruction on the sunvisor so we don't have to see this question being ask again.....
