Default Warning lights

Hello all, I'm kinda new to Audi's and I'm not sure about the lights..I just started getting a service! msg then the OK. Also, when I press check button it shows a red pic of engine & radiator then OK, does it mean it needs serious attention or is it really "OK"? Thanks in advance!!
P.S. 08 B7 2.0t cabby

everything should be fine, the service! message means you have passed the 5k mile interval or whatever it is and need an oil change or any other routine maintenance based on mileage. when you press the check button, the car runs a small self diagnostic and the icons show what system is being checked. this is by no means a full car scan but if it says 'ok' thats good. if there is a problem with the car, the CEL or another warning message will pop up and usually stay lit. yellow icons or words mean check it out soon but no major worries, red icons mean check/service immediately and avoid driving the car if possible (depending on the problem)
