RE: Dumb Question (OXS Light) or: I wish I had an owner's manual.

It indicates that it's the time to renew the oxygen sensor. Mind you,
however, that the warning light circuit is simply driven by the
odometer, once you cover the specified mileage (probably 60k on these
cars), the light comes on. This is _not_ an indicator of the actual
condition of the sensor, it may have plenty of life left.
