When "SERVICE" is illuminated, on the Message Center, press the "SYSTEM CHECK" button on the right of the display. Then press the "RESET" button. The "SERVICE" symbol and mileage will start to flash. Next, press the "SYSTEM CHECK" and "RESET" buttons at the same time. The display will show "7,200 miles/11,580 km" and will count down from there as long as the buttons are depressed. Release the buttons at the desired service interval.

this shouldnt be a problem, most cars will show something similar when started, this is usually for one of two reasons, its a test to let you know that all the lights and displays are working, and two when you first start your car, the computer doesnt see any oil pressure and momentarily turns on the check engine/ service light, but will go off when the computer gets a pressure reading. hope i was able to help!
For Audi A4 model 2003 1.9 TDI 131 HP the board computer message ,,Service in 2400 km 29 tagen" means: Service due in 2400 km, or in 29 days - which one: 2400 km or 29 days will be first covered. It's very simple!
Service soon light means, that the computer pick up a bad signal from one of your engine sensor, have a code reading done, get back with us with the code number so we can help with your troublr code, autozone will do this service for free.

Take care
This indicates that the vehicle is due for a service. When the car is serviced the garage doing the job should reset the service light for the next service. The light should come on for +- 2 minutes and then go off.
The person that changed the oil should have resetted the light.
Just drive to an AutoZone store, ask for somebody to check your vehicle computer codes, once they check them up, ask them to reset the change oil soon light, they would do this at no charge. This is a free service they offered to all their customers.
Press and hold BOTH right and left panel knobs while turning the ignition key to the ON position, the regular ligts come up and cycle. The message 10000 miles till next service should come up meanng the service is reset till next service cycle.
With the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message displayed, press any of the three DIC buttons to clear the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message.
Display "OIL LIFE RESET" on the DIC.
Press and hold the "ENTER" button for at least one second. An "ACKNOWLEDGED" display message will appear for three seconds or until the next button is pressed. This will tell you the system has been reset.
Turn the ignition to "OFF". If the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
