    service light!

    I got in my car after a 240 mile trip and i started her up, and the lovely service light was lit up! I cursed and thought nothing more of it, after about 10- mins it went off?!?!? Any ideas why?
    Cheers - -Don!

    service light stays on for a few minites after ignition is switched on when service is due.
    it is supposed to be inteligent in terms of mileage driven/driving style etc.
    imagine the 240 mile trip made your car think it was due a service.
