If this happened when the battery went dead and the "service vehicle soon" flashes on and off it is just indicating that the data bus has been interrupted and need resetting. Take it to a dealership they often reset them for free, and maintain the normal service intervals. Some cars are programmed to light an indicator at recommended service intervals, i.e., every 3000 miles to remind the driver to have the oil changed. It tells the driver that the next scheduled service (oil, oil&air filters, wheel bearings, brakes, cam-belt, air-con, transmission, etc.,) is due and it is reset by the dealership after the service. Not one to ignore if the vehicle is coming up to brake or cam-belt inspection/change time. It is worth talking to the dealership, in modern cars there is some movement that can be applied in scheduling periodicity and type of servicing, to match your vehicle usage.
