Check your manual, but it's A 1 and A 2, Oil/oil filter change, and air/cabin air filter check/change for the most part. Just did mine a few weeks ago.

codes simplified:

A= oil change
1= tire rotation (can do with oil change at dealer for $70).
2= cabin and engine air filter change (easy DIY, buy filters from dealer or online, DO NOT pay the dealer to do these, it'll be an arm and a leg).

you can DIY the oil change and rotation...which will save you more $$$.

It means you're lazy and cant be bothered to read your manual or do an internet search.

No worries. I figured I'd post that before some of the more "harsh" AZ residents get to you.
