The maintenance required light is there to remind you of tune ups and stuff. The light flashes in different intervals to tell you what is needed to be done. Just look in the service manual to find out what it is saying.

And the way you reset the light is to put the key in the ignition but dont turn it. Push the button on the cluster that resets the trip a and b milage and hold it for bout 5 or 10 secs then turn the key to on and keep holding the button and wait for the light to go off. After that turn the key back off then crank the car and it should not come back on till the next tune up that is required.
