the electronic systems on the car has started. This lasts few seconds: if no faults are detected, when the engine has

See section “Warning lights and messages” if faults are found.

The “Service schedule” includes vehicle maintenance every 20,000 km (or 12,000 mi) or every year; this is shown automatically, with the
ignition key at MAR, starting from 2,000 km (or 1,240 mi) or 30 days from this deadline and it is shown again every 200 km (or 124 mi) or
3 days. For 1.3 Multijet versions, see “Care and Maintenance” in section “Service schedule to change engine oil and filter and air cleaner.
When a programmed maintenance interval (coupon) is near to come, turning the ignition key to MAR, will display the message “Service”
