The message is displayed after 365 days or <distance> has passed since last service (or last service reset of the display). <distance> may vary between markets, but is probably close to 20000 km. > Is there something > specific this is calling for? It thinks it is time for service, either because of distance or time, and is just reminding you that a service would be nice. > If it's something as simple as an oil > change which I can do myself, then how do I stop the message from coming > up all the time? When you have done the required service you can reset the message yourself. When the message is displayed on the SID you press the clear button briefly to remove the message, then press and hold the clear button until the message SERVICED is seen after about 8 seconds. Don't release the button when CLEARED is shown. > I don't have a manual for the car and have been browsing here and on > saabnet for as much information as I can find.
