 SERVICE INDICATOR 
 For a few seconds after the ignition is  
switched on, the spanner symbolising the 
service indicator comes on: the display 
informs you when the next service is due, 
in accordance with the "Manufacturer ’s" 
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing 
booklet. This information is determined in 
relation to the distance travelled since the 
previous service. 
 LIGHTING RHEOSTAT 
 The rheostat is active when the lights are on. 
  Refer to the list of checks in the  
servicing booklet which was given to

 "Oil Life" or "Suit in Oil" function: your  
vehicle’s service interval is 24,000 miles 
(40,000 km), in normal use.  
 However,  the engine control unit tests the  
degree of wear of the engine oil.  
 If your vehicle is used in arduous conditions  
and consequently suffers engine oil wear.

this equipment, you are warned 
by flashing of the engine oil

displaying of a message on the instrument 
panel each time the vehicle is started.    
  
In this case, your vehicle must be  
serviced as soon as possible.

conditions: 
-   the vehicle must be stationary, engine 
running, foot on the brake, 
-   the gradient of the road must be steeper 
than 5 %, 
-   uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or

releasing the braking pressure. During 
this phase, the typical noise of mechanical 
disengaging of the brakes can be heard, 
indicating the imminent movement of the 
vehicle.

 In fog or snow, the brightness sensor may  
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lights 
will not be switched on automatically. If 
necessary, you must switch on the dipped 
headlamps manually.  
 They are switched off when the light returns  
to a sufficient level or after the windscreen 
wipers are switched off.  HEADLAMP BEAM
