Means oil change needed. Just a oil life monitor based on usage.
To reset MAINT reminder indicator after engine oil change:
1.Press the ODO / TRIP switch until odometer displays "ODO".
2.Turn ignition or POWER switch to OFF position with odometer display showing.
3.Turn ignition POWER switch to ON position while holding down trip meter RESET button.
4.Hold trip meter RESET button down for at least 5 seconds. Odometer should indicate "000000", and MAINT reminder light goes out.
