Yes, it is a Service Reminder. It comes on every so many miles. I can't remember what THE interval TECH told me but I wanna say every 5k? I think pre-97 850 vehicles, you can res-set the light manually. 97 850's and s70's and on you have to have a scanner do it. Mine came on and Tech took care of it for me as he has a scanner. You can go to a dealer and they should be able to reset it unless you can deal with the light. I couldn't, drove me nuts to look at it. I want to say IPD also sells a service light reset flasher, but its like $120.

Service Light Will Not Reset on the '98's
Well, I could hold it for over a minute and it simply does not work. I also fired up my OBD-II scanner and it would not reset the light either. I read another post that stated that the trip reset does not work on the '98 models.
To reset the light on the '98 models you have to get the special tool or have a service tech do it. I guess it will stay on.

hehe
Mine comes on everytime but goes after about 5 mins.
Call me mad, but I quite like it. It acts as an indicator for me not to drive too hard,
Not sure how this applies these days but as a young man I was always told not to thrash a car from cold.
i.e. gives me five minutes to warm the engine up before I start releasing the 200bhp rollercoaster ride.
