two months. The SERVICE DUE message is displayed along with the
Ê
symbol on the trip computer (while Mileage before service is displayed,\
or

The message “SERVICE DUE” is displayed when the “mileage before oil
change” display is selected accompanied by the trip computer symbol
Ê
flashing continuously across all of the trip computer pages.

schedule
The mileage before oil change/service must only be reset after a service\
in
accordance with the recommendations in the Warranty and Services booklet.

To reset the service distance display, press the reset button for about
10 seconds until the fixed service distance display appears.
