there are three things which bring it on since it was last reset ..
MIleage , 12500
Time 12 months
Engine hours 750

The service message will come up with " BOOK TIME FOR SERVICE " a month before it is due.
It will change then to "SERVICE DUE " when it is due .

And will say "SERVICE OVERDUE" a month after ..

Mine is not much over 97k. I know the AUX belt is at 100k if I remember correctly so wasn't sure if this was the service light for this or the yearly bodywork checks and cabin filter?

I didn't know that the "SERVICE DUE" was the trigger point, always thought it was the "BOOK TIME FOR SERVICE" was the trigger.

Learn something everyday
