406 service warning indication?

[Rick Maninov]

Ok when you go over the mileage when the car thinks it ought to be serviced(a bit) It appears to put up a spanner all the time in the odometer and starts clocking up the miles since it thought it should have had a new filter. BUT Is there any other warning indication? Or put it another way, what does it do if you ignore it for a bit?

Sorry if this post offends by attributing thought to a motor vehicle, but they're getting too dammed clever for their own good.. and it aint getting a new filter till 60K even if it stamps its feet and throws a tantrum.

Rick.

It won't do anything, but you can reset the service light indicator if you want to get rid of the spanner. The procedure should be in your user manual somewhere.

Mmmmmmmm yep, I know how to reset the service indicator, I was just expecting something like the little spanner might start flashing or something... seems pretty boring. I can't really figure why it thinks it need a service 700 miles short of the proper interval, I drive the dammed thing in grandad mode all the time. Maybe I shouldn't have bought the missus those leather driving gloves for xmas.
