    Default maintenance required

    hey i have a stupid question and i hope someone can answer it. I have never owned a honda before and i was looking at some and i noticed on a 1996 honda civic ex i was looking at there was a little viewfinder like thing under the odometer on the speedometer and written next to it said "maintenance required." I was wonder what it was and what color its supposed to be and how to reset it? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    Bro it means nothing. That light is always on in most honda motor vehicles, and I would regard it as useless.
