The Mantinence Required light is a timed light that comes on. There is a little black button under the steering column press and hold that for like 5 seconds when the key is in the run position.

That light does come on at set intervals, even if nothing is wrong. It's to remind you to perfom regular maintenance on the car. The reset button for it is actually blue in a black box, underneath the panel under the steering column, slightly to the right. It's a square button.
To reset the maintenance required light:
-Turn the ignition on, but don't start the car.
-Hold the reset button down until the maintenance required light goes off, it'll take a few seconds.
-Turn the ignition off.

That's it.

Nothing should be unscrewed. Lie on your back in your drivers seat and stick your head where the petals are and look where the dash ends. Almost directly in line with the steering wheel there will be a little black box about 1" by 1' that is a button. Press it for 5 sec. with the key in the run position. The light should turn off.
