Is this the Maintenance Required light, or the Malfunction Indicator Lamp?
This is an important distinction.

If the former, see my earlier post. If the latter, it is most assuredly NOT
because you hit 10,000 miles.

Since your expensive new car is UNDER WARRANTY, ignorance of the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp may VOID YOUR WARRANTY on account of abuse.
Take it in to the dealer. If there is a problem, chances are about 99.9% it
will be covered under the warranty that you paid for as part of the
purchase price of the car. You would not believe how expensive some of the
emissions components are that can go bad early in the car's life.

If, however, you really enjoy throwing away money and potentially wrecking
that $15,000 investment you've made, then by all means go to AutoZone, get
them to turn off the light, then drive blissfully offf into the sunset.
