Jumped into our 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer this weekend and noticed this message pop up on the nav screen. Weirrrd! That periodic maintenance message usually only pops up on the trip computer located behind the steering wheel. Does this mean things are urgent now since we've ignored the light for so long?..
(Apparently the dealership didn't reset it the last time we took the Lancer in.)
Nope, the nav message is merely a set reminder separate from the trip computer. Looked it up in the Mitsu's "Multi-Communication System" manual (page 9-9) and followed the directions to get to the screen that listed what's over due for maintenance.
Suffice it to say, the Lancer is due for maintenance, just not as overdue as I thought. We didn't skip an appointment (sigh of relief), but next time we should probably make sure that the dealer resets the reminder.

ah ha, so the due service was done, but the tech didn't reset the computer, thus resulting warning.
I hate it when that happens. ;)
I hate it when dealer forgets to give me back my winter tires after switching to all season in the spring.
