accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due
is calculated from the last indicator
zero reset. It is determined by two
parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
More than 620 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symboli-
sing the service operations comes on.
The distance recorder display line
indicates the distance remaining
b e f o r e t h e n e x t s e r v i c e i s d u e .
Example: 1 900 miles remain before
t h e n e x t s e r v i c e i s d u e .
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates: 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 620 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 500 miles remain before
t h e n e x t s e r v i c e i s d u e .
