does anyone know how to reset the maintenance light?
The Owners Manual will cover that for you. Or you could call your dealership and they might tell you, or try to sell you an Owners Manual. Brian
hold the two buttons on the right side of the guage cluster and turn the key on, it will reset after ten seconds. Chip
But I do have a life, and it doesn't involve wasting other people's time finding out information that I can look up myself. Brian
but it does involve wasting other peoples time with dumb posts! question asked questio answered. no problem except waste of time posts by you
[using] other people's time finding out As a strictly practical matter: newbies will always be joining in and asking newbie questions. There is no way to stop this short of restricting the distribution or ability to post. No amount of discussion will change this. Other groups post FAQs on a regular basis to try and address this.

My point is that if the person looking for the answer was to read the Owners Manual, he would have found the answer much faster. Brian
I can see you have a life. all you do is read all the post that don't pertain to any subjects the matter to you. You couldn't go without one day without being on this board, Me, I am getting paid while I'm it, and paid very well.
Newbie questions are one thing; asking to be spoon-fed the contents of the owner's manual is something else entirely.[/QUOTE] The "newbie" problem is they don't know to look there. So these questions will continue to re-occur, and re-occur, and ... I don't see how it helps to give them a "dope slap" for not knowing what they don't know.
The "newbie" problem is they don't know to look there.[/QUOTE] I have absolutely NO sympathy for anyone who buys a car and then never picks up the owners manual, going to the Usenet instead. The owner's manual is chock full of information on your shiny new $XX,000 toy, whereby the Usenet is chock full of misinformation on every subject in the world. But then, the Usenet is easier, so it's obvious to see why people would go there to see how to operate that shiny new car. I have no sympathy for anyone who buys a car and never picks up the owner's manual, period. What would these people do if they bought a new TV and wanted to know how it works? Ignore the manual and start blasting out "how do I make the remote control work my VCR?" all over the net?

I know this subject is a hot potato, but I never assume people have owner's manuals for a car that is two or more model years old. The car may have been bought used, and a *lot* of used cars are missing their manuals. A quick tally tells me that of the twelve cars I've owned over the past 35 years only four have had owner's manuals with them... and three of those cars were bought new. In fact, I've had far more service manuals than owner's manuals. I think previous owners had taken them out of the glove box to make room for other junk and then lost them. Personally, I prefer to just give people the benefit of the doubt. Mike
All the poster has to say is he doesn't have a manual. Of course that would be wide open to abuse by lying. Lots of times an owner can get a manual by asking the dealer. I really don't know how a person can have a complex piece of machinery (or electronics) without some reference manual.
