Turn the key all the way, (don't start the car) and hold the trip button for 5 or 10 seconds, release and start the car.

Can't find my manual either but i did it once so i'm pretty sure thats how it goes.

Or do a search for "Maitenance required light" on all forums. Thats how i found how to do it.

Bridow, I am not sure what interval the light uses, but if you ever take your car to the dealer for service they reset it for you. Probably even if it hasn't come on to reset the interval, but I am not sure about this.

The light comes on roughly 7500 miles from the last time it was reset. To reset it, put the key in the ignition, but do not turn it. Press and hold the trip button. Continue holding the trip button and turn the key to the on position. Hold the trip button until the light goes off.

I need to do a search and find how to take the A/C auto off when you set it to defrost the windshield.

Here ya go:

1) Turn the ignition switch "on," but dont start the car.
2) Turn fan speed off.
3) Turn temperature knob all the way to the left (blue area).
4) Turn vent knob to all the way to the left (panel position).
5) Turn the ignitions switch "off."
6) Hold down both air recirculation button and a/c button while turning the ignition switch "on." Nothing lights up initially, keep waiting. The orange air recirculation indicator on the button will start flashing.
7) Continue holding both buttons until the orange air recirculation indicator stops flashing, then let go.

Help me out here.

Why do you want to turn the AC function off while defrosting? I leave the AC function on even when I have the heat on (to dry the air and prevent the need for defrosting).
