You are pressing the odometer button until it in blank not trip a or trip b, just blank. turn the key to off position, then press and hold the odometer button and hold while turning the key to 'on position, not start. Keep holding button and then the message will go off.
Also, you're talking about message on the dash right, not the maintenance on the navigation? The navigation message is controlled through nav options and maintenance.

Reset Maintenance Required Light
1. With your car OFF, place your key in the ignition and turn to ""On"". Do not start the car.
2. Find the odometer button and press until it reads the total odometer setting, (not the Trip A or Trip B setting).
3. Turn the key to OFF.
4. Place your finger back on the odometer button, press and hold. At the same time, turn the key back to ""On"".
5. Hold the odometer button in until the MAINT REQ light goes out...should take about 8-10 seconds.

My method to turn off the maintenance required light:
- Remember to call the dealer and schedule my loaner "test drive" of a new model for the day
- Chew the fat with the sales manager
- Enjoy their coffee
- Wonder who would buy something that fits and looks like a tarted-up Mazda3 called a Lexus CT for nearly $40K
- Get my scheduled maintenance done by someone who, unlike myself, isn't all thumbs under the hood.

Instead of pushing button at same time as turning ign on, push and hold button, then turn on ign (don't crank) while still holding button down for approx 5 - 10 seconds, light will go out. BTW ^^^ very funny Caddyowner!!!
