Service C at 5,300 Miles?
My FSS+ is showing a need for service C in a few days. I looked at items to see what it thinks it needs. 3, 9, 12, and 13.
3 Every 30,000 miles or 2 years
Replace combination filter
It seems a little early for this time or mileage wise.
9 Every 2 years
Check bodywork for paint damage
Check chassis and load-bearing body components
Replace brake fluid, check pressure of reservoir
Again it is early for this.
12 Due when displayed
Engine oil and filter change
I can believe this based on time.
13 Due when displayed
Check fluid levels, correct/repair if necessary
• Brake system
• Power steering
• Windshield washer system
Check safety catch and hinges on engine hood
Check auxiliary battery condition
Function check
• Warning/indicator lamps, illumination and interior lighting
• Windshield wipers, washer system, headlamp cleaning system
Inspect tires
Check thickness of front brake pads
Check main battery
Is this triggered by time or when a problem is suspected?
Has anyone else had these services appear this early? The car wasn't even built two years ago.

I think that these service things show up by time or mileage. If you actually had a problem with the car you would get a RED or YELLOW message in your MFD.

Evaluates engine temperature, oil level, vehicle speed, engine speed, brake wear, distance driven and the time elapsed since your last service. The interval between services depends on your driving habits.

I took the car to the dealer for service. The SA said it was kind of early since the car was built less than two years ago. They reset the service indicator to delay it for a few months.
