It means the car is overdue a service. Don't you service it?

The light doesn't go off by itself, it is reset by a 'tool' at whatever garage does the service (the 'tool' can be anything from a paperclip to a huge supercomputer - depending on the garage).

If you're doing the service yourself, then you will need to use the 'tool' yourself to reset it.

Did you actually service the car or simple reset the service indicator ?
