1200 Mile Service
I was trying to get the 1200 mile service light to come and then park it. I have my service scheduled Feb 6th. So, at 1203 the light did not come on...is there some sort of "average" mileage that it comes on?

my appointment is on Tuesday and I'm a little short. I've definately got some driving to do. Hopefully it doesn't take too many miles.

Mine is already on. I believe the indicator went off around ~800 miles. I'm at 950 now and will be having my car serviced later this week. My service advisor said they can do it anytime between 1000-1200 miles.

It's not a big deal if it's early. I got my first one done at 900 in Heidelberg and the second done at 1200 plus here at home. Just get it done.

they can do the 1200 miles service early and not have to wait for the service light to come on.

For sure going to get it done. It also pulls to the right a bit and the passenger headlight is loose. Really, $70K and the headlight is loose. Geeze !

Not really have driven it hard at all. I know a lot of cars have the service light come on and it is governed by the number of revolutions the engine does. And since my miles have been mostly highway, it doesnt sit at a light very much racking up the revolutions. That maybe why it has not come on yet.

I see the pic of the car does not have a front license tag. I wish I did not have to have one. But, the very nice front body colored plate mount that came with the car that was in the trunk does look nice

Don't worry about the when the service indicator comes on. The service is due when the service light comes on OR 1,200 miles, which ever comes first. Bring your car in on Feb 6 for the 1200 mile service - a couple hundered miles over won't make a difference. BTW, had mine done at 1,335 miles.

Something tells me that the light is revolution based, not miles. |

Got my 1,200 mile service sch for Tuesday the 31st. My service light does not stay on but when i crank it up the service light lights up for a second and shows me how many miles left until the service is due. I have like 25 miles left so it should be pretty close to the 1,200 mark when i arrive at the service center.
