The 'Maintainance required' light is normal, unless you meant to say the 'Check Engine Light'. It's only a reminder. Just reset it if you did all the maintainance. I don't remember how to reset off hand, but it's in the manual.

Just to expand on the previous post a bit more....
The maintenance required light is a reminder light that comes on at predefined intervals to remind you to service your car (eg change oil etc).
This should be reset when your car is serviced.

The check engine light comes on if there are problems...if this happens get it looked at immediately.

The Maint. Required light, if I am not mistaking, comes on every 7500 miles.

If you didn't find the instructions in your owners manual. Here it is, it must be done exactly. Put your key in the ignition (just in) hold down the TRIPOMETER reset button (Bottom Right of dash) for 10 seconds. Then turn the key to the on postion while keeping the trip button down for an additional 10 seconds. And POOF! Its gone. When i said,turn the key to the "ON" postion I mean turn it all the way, WITHOUT pushing the start button.
