[Biturbos4] How does the 'service in xxxx miles' work ?

[Keman]

It is a mystery even to me, and I work on the damn things. :P

Just group it in with the calculations which are performed that monitor
outside temperature. There are quite a few equations that determine it,
vehicle speed, etc.

Even more complicated is the "how long you've been driving" timer. Not the
one you can reset. But the one that blinks every 2 hours to remind you to
stretch you rlegs. The one that knows the difference between filling the
tank up and getting a bite to eat, and resets itself accordingly.

On the service interval light- just hold the right gauge cluster switch in
and turn the key to ON, let go and tap the button on the left.
