All of my previous cars have had a scheduled maintenance booklet and it just seems to make life easier for me
You can find out what service is coming up by pressing and holding the reset button down for 10 seconds while the "oil life remaining" screen is displayed. After 10 seconds, the display will start to flash, and the next service (A/B,1,2,3,4 etc) will be displayed.

Since the display always indicates "oil life remaining", it should be easy, with a bit of experience, to extrapolate when the next service will come due. In my case, the MM drops about 10% per month.

Good tip Uncle Gary. I might add, for those that are unaware, just don't push the reset button again while the display is flashing because it will re-set it to 100%
