Service word comes on right when i turn my car on

jalcantar2010 · 11-01-2011, 02:58 PM

Like it says, but goes away after a second or 2 .. Should I take it in now or later.. Is it telling me that I would soon need service since it\'s not permanently staying on?

it should say service with a remaining mileage listed under it...usually its just an inspection, and i clear mine out. If its anything else like an oil change, brake fluid, pads, etc it will show that specific symbol...

100% take it into the dealership now.

They won't do any service unless its due. Call to schedule and see what you can get since your warranty is ending soon. What is the mileage remaining under the service warning?

Try reading the owners manual. This is part of the condition based service. Something needs attention, but don't panic and go to the dealer as soon as possible, it is just an indication that the car needs something. The owners manual will tell you how to check it either through the i-drive or BC stalk.

Use the stalk to go through the service-info and find which item is due soon. Usually, you get that service info indication when a service is due very soon (like within 1 month or 2000 miles, just a guess). Mine is doing the same thing because brakes are due in 2000 miles.
