Question on one of the Service Icons
does anybody know what this means? i looked it up in the manual and it just says maintenance requirements. very vague as opposed to all the other icons being very specific. TIA!

I had the same thing......
Once Long Tran changed my front brakes and I reset the onboard computer.....it went away. Look through your service menu....you probably need something service.........

Really? Brake pads? I thought that was just the general serivce symbol, that something needs to be serviced. Either a specific part, like the pads, or just a general inspection of the car.

hmmm, but through the manual, brake pads have their own icon. there's a separate one for front and rear. my rears were done late last year before my warranty expired. fronts are coming soon, but not 1,200 miles.
plus, i saw that same thing in the manual. canadian model will have that icon plus another, instead of saying "brake". so i don't believe it's that. also, this icon has always been there, along with all the other service icons with their countdown in miles. so at one time the miles for this icon were very high, but now it's down to 1,200.

I think that its just a general inspection of the car. I mean, the major parts are listed in the service menu, so if you got that symbol it should be followed by a second one. The major ones like brakes, fluids, oil, filters, cats, and the spark plugs are there own separate symbol, as your maual shows. Just have the tech guys at the dealer plug it in and read it, should not take more than 20 mins of your time.
