Exclamation Maintence Required????

Hey fellas. These last couple days when i start the car my maintence required light comes on then goes off. Yesterday i hit 47k. Soon as it went from 46999 to 47 the light came on and stayed on. Now its on even when i drive. I checked the maintence section on the screen and nothing seems to be wrong. Nothing abnormal on the car, no indication of anything. Whats up? Thinking its just some scheduled maintence the stealership puts in to make us come back. I dunno?? Whaddya think??

Your 50,000 mile service is due, the stealership resets it every 5,000 miles as a reminder.

Read page 96, 462 of the owner manual. On page 95 "mileage reset" will show you how to reset after you perform the maintenance.

1. Push the "ODO/TRIP" button to chnage the display to blank.
2. Turn the ignition switch off.
3. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" the the trip meter "RESET" button held down.
4. Keep pushing the "RESET" button for longer than 5 seconds after the ignition is turned on.

After the above operation, the master warning light comes on, a warning tone sounds and the above message appears to inform you that the engine oil maintenance data has been reset.

There are other procedure to reset after you replace the cabin air filter too.

No, it's a dummy light. Goes off every 5000 miles. Not actually monitoring anything but your wallet....
