It's the service light indicating the car is due a service.
^ that
Are there specific things that should be seen at the 140.00km service?
Should be in the service handbook if you're looking for service schedule.
you have to scroll through the CBS (condition based servicing) menu, press and hold the stalk button in the desired sequence to find your way through it. Air cleaner and spark plugs aren't in the list but usually every third oil change, fuel is officially lifetime for petrol but people change them, if you see linked S's it's an MOT reminder, the symbol you show if in the list is a vehicle check, basically the mechanical checks a traditional service would complete, hopefully, you'll get the idea....
I dont want to leave it up to the technician to tell me what that icon exactly stands for, because if i have no idea what should be serviced, then he could easily ask for any price he wants. Does that make sence?

It Means BAIL!!!
Its a BLAST TO DRIVE....owning it SUCKS!
I'm thinking the same thing, bought mine in September, the guy I bought it from rebuilt the engine, and I still get the check engine light after taking it to get everything calibrated and cleared. Taking it back to the shop in the morning. I am going to be late (or never) bringing it through the state-mandated emissions test. It is running fine, except it hangs a little when you accelerate from a stoplight. It's also nice on curvy roads! Glad it is a spare car!

You can get
which is a software diagnostic tool. This is what I have it can reset service engine lights. The whole deal with it is though
is you have to either fix or replace what ever may be wrong. Like brake pads or wear indicator lights. Which is not gonna be your problem, you have no brake light on your console. other than that. It's just a matter of pressing the reset button on the software.
Or you might be able to get into the hidden menu and reset the message, but again it is two fold if there is a problem and the service light comes on meaning there is a problem potentially that needs to be fixed.
In my own opinion by looking at your light. and console; I think it is something like a oil change light.

I hope you have got your car working better. If you’re still getting the hangs in acceleration, I would suggest changing ignition coils and spark plugs. If that doesn’t fix it, it’s likely to be the fuel pump. I was lucky, plugs and coils were what my car needed to fix the same issue. Good luck!
