    You could also try reading the fm. All the information you need to reset the maintenance light is in there.
    Try doing this:
    Press start button until car turns the ignition on
    Make sure the odometer displays "ODO" NOT TRIP
    Press and hold the ODO trip reset button in
    press start button until car turns off
    press start button until car turns back to ON
    Hold the ODO button in until all the flashing lines on the odometer go away and the mileage returns and the maint reset light stops flashing
    Your'e done.

    i can only think you're not doing it right, unless something is broken.

    it's not the maintenance reminder you can program into the mfd, is it?

    No, if the newly changed engine oil is at a correct level on the dipstick then there is no danger. However you should eventually figure out why it is that you cannot reset the MAINT REQD odometer timer. Perhaps you will need to ask a local dealer's service dept for help.

    If a warning light is on other than MAINT REQD, then take a sharp photo of it and post.
