It varies depening on many factors (Driving style, temp., etc)... Usually between 9,000 - 11,000 miles you should get your FSS A-Service indicator...

The minimum interval for the FSS indicator is 10,000 miles. The maximum is 20,000 miles. Your A/B service indicator will come on sometime between those two limits, depending on how you drive your car.

Time considered Too!

If you drive you car very little! It will come on under 10000 miles based on time between services. Also, if prior to your service, you exceed 14000 miles the dealer is supposed to do a b service

If you'll double click the odometer button, the odo screen will show a wrench followed by the number of miles LEFT until you need the next service--assuming you continue driving the same way you have been.
