That's weird... I'm at around 8,800 miles and experiencing the same problem/isssue. How do I turn it off without going back to the dealership? :/

I think it says something in the manual about this.... it starts blinking more when you hit 8,000 miles or something like that, mine started doing it too.

it does start blinking like that at 8,000, at 10,000 it will stay on constantly while driving. it is all in the manual. the way to turn it off is, hold the trip, odometer button on the dash with the car off, turn the car on while still holding it, hold it for about 10 seconds after turning the car on and it will reset. but next time check the manual, look in the index under "m" for maintenance light.

I had that problem and i took it to the dealer. They told me its just a reminder to maintenance your vehicle. They even should me how to take it off, but i told remember EXACTLY. I think the way to do it is to off the car completely off with the key in the ignition but not on at all. Then hold down the odometer reset **** for like 10 seconds and then turn on the car while still holding the **** down. That how i think it goes. Hope that helps.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

hold down the odometer button when your car is off, then start your car holding the button until the man't light is off. done.

First of all it IS NOT A PROBLEM!!! Nothing has gone wrong with your car. It is just maintenance. Second, read the manual, that is why they gave it to you!
