Service 1/A too soon?

The C300 we just bought has about 24K miles right now. According to dealer maintenance records, Service 2/B was performed 500 miles ago, on 1/25/2010. Yet, the ASSYST says next service (1/A) is due in 180 days which would make it about 10/1/2010.

This car is on 1year/13k miles service interval, so why does the ASSYST not agree with this?

Probably when it was reset it had on memory the mileage from the previous period. Now it will self adjust when advises you automatically next. At the rate you are going, and having the proof of the January 2010 service, you will not need A2 until January 2011.

Are you saying the reminder won't come on until 1/2011 even though right now it's scheduled to come on 10/2010 (due in 150 days)?

It shouldn't. But, are you sure that they reset the service indicator at the B service. It is possible that he/she drove alot and got the A service done in 10/2009 and then the B service on 1/25 at an INDY and they never reset the indicator?

Not likely.
Service A (first oil change) was done on 10/24/2008 at 12k miles.
Then nothing was done until the lease was returned and the car got certified which was on 1/25/2010 at 23.5k miles, which I am assuming was Service B.

If they didn't reset the indicator on 1/25/2010, then it would be telling me that I am way overdue for Service B right now. Instead, it is telling me that I am 150 days away from Service A.
