SES lights

[Dr Chuff]

Quick question....e39 M5

Are the green led SES lights supposed to stay on or go off shortly after starting?

I get 5 greens, no orange or red, then after 5 secs or so, they all go blank.

Thanks,
Dr C

Yes they are supposed to go out a few secs after ignition. They will tell you when your car wants servicing. The greens will go out one by one until the orange/red ones come on and that's service time.

Car will work it out. It's all down to fuel consumption, milage etc etc.

Or more accurately, how often you give it death out of greasy roundabouts

No need to be sorry. It's a very valid point. In my case, a certainty!
