It means that you have to get the language of your warnings changed to
one that you understand. It also means it is "time for routine/regular
maintenance". Your Volvo dealer can set the warnings to read out in
several different languages.

I thought it said "You vill service your car. You will do it now."

You have been watching too much TV. Volvo's don't talk, they just have
message signs.
