that a system is in operation (operation
or deactivation indicator lights) or of the
occurrence of a fault (warning light).

The switching on of certain warning
lights may be accompanied by an audi-
ble signal and a message on the multi-
function display.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Maintenance indicator
System which informs the driver when
the next service is due, in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero re-
set. It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner is switched off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances. Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due
Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains on to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.
More than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising
the service operations comes on. The
distance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next
service is due.
Example: 4 800 km remain before the
next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the
v e h i c l e a n d w a i t a t l e a s t fi v e m i n u t e s
for the zero reset to be taken into
account.
Maintenance indicator zero reset
After each service, the maintenance in-
dicator must be reset to zero.
Your CITROËN technician resets the
indicator to zero after each service.
However, if you do your own servicing,
the procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
switch off the ignition,
press and hold the trip distance re-
corder zero reset button,
switch on the ignition; the distance re-
corder display begins a countdown,
when the display indicates "=0" , re-
lease the button; the spanner disap-
pears.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.
Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
t h e s p a n n e r fl a s h e s to
