Turn your car off and turn the key to accessory position. Once all the other lights turn off push the throttle to the floor three times. Turn key off and start the car.

Or, turn the key to the 'ON' position and hold the trip reset for 14 seconds.

The light comes on every 3000 miles I believe to remind you to change your oil.
