How the service counter works:
It counts in days and miles. Every service is to occur every 365 days or 10,000 miles, whatever happens first.
In all cars, it counts miles/kilometers in 100s and days in 1s. So if you see (for example) "-25" it means you're 25 days overdue for a service. A "-100" would either mean 100 miles overdue or 100 days overdue...but if it were days you would have seen it counting before anyway.
In your situation, the car feels 29 days will happen sooner than 8,200 miles.
These cars have a service schedule consisting of an "A" service and a "B" service, usually based on when the car was put into service. An older smart will use a single or double wrench to denote which service is coming up. A "B" service usually includes more work such as brake fluid and coolant flushes, and thus cost more money. Assuming your car was brought into service in 2016, you are looking at a B service. This service is roughly $450 at a dealership.

You
do not need a MB STAR machine to reset the service counter in
any smart. The 450, 452, 454, and 451 require an intricate button/ignition sequence while the 453 requires holding the select button on a screen for about 10 seconds or so.
There's no reason to change your smart's oil every 3k-5k as some do. Many of our members have submitted oil samples to laboratories and the result is usually the same: The manufacturer recommendation of 10,000 miles is more than fine.
So unless you're doing something really crazy with your smart that puts extra wear on it, stick with the 10,000 miles. I suppose that's a controversial opinion to some who do things the old school way...but engines and oils are far more advanced than even a few decades ago.
Check the fine print (if available) and state laws to see if that extended warranty transfers. The factory warranty should follow the car, but extended warranties can be a different ball game.
Hope that helps!
