Fear not, they come set to long life servicing from the factory. If the car was on a maintenance package business lease the leasing company would likely want to keep it as long life, but being as you’re a caring private owner with a service package you’ll get it done annually, and in fact I think it’s in the T&C’s of the service pack that you have to get it done every year or approx 9-10k miles (whichever is soonest).
The dealer will change the settings to “time and distance” (annual servicing) on the first service.
You’ll no doubt be plagued with reminders via email when your first service is due from the supplying dealer.
