please search or read your manual, this topic has been beaten to death.

If you wait too long and it stays on, the dealer will void your warranty.

It is just a reminder that the 3000 mile oil change is coming up.

Once you have passed the 3000 it will stay one.

Take somewhere and have the oil changed and they will reset it for you.

read your owner's manual. it tells you in there. its really a rather simple process. i cant remember it off to top of my head here @ work so i apologize for that. but i swear its in there. or you could just search. thats rather easy as well! :)

i think you mean 30,000 because the maintanance req'd light lights on every 10,000 miles.

WARNING If the light is not turned off You car will EXPLODE and send your ass back to the search tab

That light is stupid. Hint: there's a STICKY in vehicle problems forum that explains this.

02boostlessCIV 01-14-2005 11:46 AM

okey i see everyone else is not really giving you any answer, so here i go. Wait untill your maintanence light goes on permanently. Then before you start the car push in and hold that knob thats on the gauge cluster, the one for the miles and shit not the one for the ilumination of your gauges. well after you pushed it in keep holding it. Now start the car and keep kolding the know until the light dissapears. done.

Turn the ignition to onand hold the odo button in, but don't start the car, that'll fix it
