I bought a used 2005 toyota camry le and it didn't come with a book, which I didn't think was a big deal, but now the maintenance required light came on, and the dealership hasn't returned my calls. Does anyone know if this is a bad thing, or a regular maintenance thing?

MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT WILL TURN ON EVERY 5000 MILES IF IT IS NOT RESET AT OIL CHANGE INTERVALS.EVEN THOUGH CONVENTIONAL OIL CHANGES ARE RECOMMENDED EVERY 3000 MILES,AND SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES AT 5000 MILES.TIRE ROTATIONS ARE DUE EVERY 5000 MILES AS WELL.WHEN THIS LIGHT TURN ON IT IS JUST A MAINTENANCE REMINDER AND NOTHING ELSE.YOU CAN RESET THIS LIGHT YOURSELF BY HOLDING THE ODOMETER RESET BUTTON AND TURNING THE IGNITION KEY ON WITHOUT STARTING THE ENGINE.CONTINUE TO HOLD THE BUTTON.THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT WILL FLASH 3 TIMES THEN TURN OFF,OR THERE YOU WILL SEE A BUNCH OF LINES APPEAR ON THE ODOMETER AND THEY WILL START TO DISAPPEAR ONE BY ONE UNTIL Y0UR VEHICLE MILEAGE COMES ON AGAIN.
