Was it the "Maintenance Required" light, or "Check Engine" light?

theres a little button under your dash to the right of the steering wheel right about your right leg. hold the button in to reset it. it doesnt mean anything. its just set to come on every now and then to remind you regular maintence that might be reccommended.

Actually depending on the year you might have to set the display to the ODO then hold the little black knob down and turn the key to the "on" position(dont start it though) and some lines should come up. Hold the knob down until all the lines blink and go away.- - - - - They look like that.

If you take your car to the dealer for oil changes/regular maintence it might not be a bad idea to have the oil changed though. In which case they will reset the light for you.
