Steering wheel symbol on dash

[richtung]

Evening folks,

Noticed this morning that a red steering wheel symbol / light appears when i turn the ignition on. This disappears along with the various other symbols after a few seconds.

The only thing that is different is that i get a service reminder in x days or x miles. This reminder has only appeared in the last day or so.... is that what the steering wheel symbol is?

Thanks

No that's normal. The time to worry is when it doesn't go out

As said, be worried if amber or red AND stays on, usually means a new steering rack, that is not cheap believe me!!
