There's a button under the dash, pedal area. It's a black box with a grey button. You don't gotta take anything apart.. Just look under there, you'll see it.
Hold the button down for like 4 seconds, and the job is done.

may be this helps but this is a reset button for every oil change, wich means you have to reset it every time you change your oil, and it will start coming on when getting close to the next oil change.

I had the same prob today only happened when I started the car and only did it the first few times I started my car today. Doesn't do it any more. Good to kno that it's prob the oil change thing

UUUHHHH-OOOOHHHHHHH...!!!
The 'Maintenance Required' light doesn't mean something is wrong with your car and it's normal for it to come on every once in a while until you reset it. It's just a courtesy reminder for oil changes, tune-ups, etc. as stated.

'Check Engine' and 'Service Engine Soon' lights are what you need to worry about.

When the key is turned on if it just blinks and the goes away it is informing you that servicing is neeeded in the near future. When it comes on and stays on it is saying that service is needed now. Just hold the button down and it will go away.

It also goes by regular service intervals pre-set from the factory in the ecu...
Look at your mileage and it seems to trip-on pretty close to the stated milage.
Not always due to the oil...
