INSTRUMENT PANEL
Fault finding - System operation
Instrument panel functions (entry level and mid-range versions):
The instrument panel allows:
–display by needle gauge of the following information:
–Vehicle speed
–Rev counter
–Fuel gauge
–Engine coolant temperature
–Management of 20 warning/indicator lights
–Alphanumeric display of the following information:
–Total and trip mileage
–Oil level
–Messages (68 messages)
–Keyless vehicle messages
–Warning messages
–Management of a multifunction buzzer:
The buzzer is used for the following functions:
–Indicating the operation of the direction indicators.
–Signalling that the lights have been left on.
–Indicating that the driver's or passenger's seat belts are not fastened when driving.
–Indicating that a door or the tailgate is not correctly closed.
–Signalling that the handbrake is on.
–Indicating the low fuel warning.
–Indicating that a speed has been exceeded, for Arabian versions, where an overspeed warning
is legally required.
–Indicating to the driver that the automatic locking when driving has been activated/deactivated.
The following buzzers can sound:
–Side lights on
–Direction indicators
–Management and trip computer display:
–Trip meter
–Fuel consumed
–Average fuel consumption
–Instantaneous fuel consumption
–Fuel range in kilometres and miles
–Distance travelled in kilometres and miles
–Average speed
–Oil service interval in kilometres
–Oil service interval in time
–Programmed speed (if the cruise control and speed limiter feature is present).
–Instrument panel dimmer: when the lights are on, the brightness of the instrument panel can be adjusted
using a button located on the instrument panel.
–In the event that the childproof lock system is not working, the buzzer will sound and a warning message
will appear on the instrument panel.
In vdiag 08 (with program version 040B) and vdiag 0C, the instrument panel can manage a personalised oil service
interval (known as the OCS) by detecting premature oil wear (depending on the engine). If the engine has this oil
wear detection management function, the oil service interval will initially be increased. The oil service interval could
however decrease more quickly if a “severe” type of driving (urban driving, diving in traffic jams, etc.) is detected by
the injection computer. The instrument panel will display a message to request that an oil service be performed
quickly, without necessarily displaying a warning message beforehand.

Special features for English versions
The newly supplied instrument panel is configured, by default, in kilometres.
In addition to the language configuration CF002 Language setting, carry out the calculation below to allow
the instrument panel to display consistent values between the distance before next oil change and the
desired oil change frequency.
To display the oil change frequency in miles, multiply the value in miles indicated in the Maintenance
booklet by 10 then divide by 6, to find the exact figure in kilometres.
After the value has been entered, the computer automatically performs the conversion into miles for the
oil service interval.
It is imperative to use the following procedure for correct functioning of the range and oil change
frequency.
Example: 18,000 miles x 10 = 180 000 miles, then divide by 6 = 30,000 km (Enter 30)
Check by reading parameter PR005 Oil change frequency in km.
A) Program the distance to next oil service in kilometres using command VP008 Distance to next oil
service: current value in KM.
Check by reading parameter PR007 Distance to next oil service: current value in KM.
B) Program the oil change frequency in months using command VP007 Oil change frequency in
months.
Check by reading parameter PR006 Oil change frequency in months.
C)Program the oil service interval in months using command VP009 Oil service interval: actual value in
months.
Check by reading parameter PR008 Oil service interval: actual value in months.
D) Program the fuel sender using command VP011 Fuel sender calibration.
There are 2 pieces of information to provide:
–Type of fuel (check by reading configuration LC049).
–Fuel level indicator:
–analogue (needle display),
–digital (bargraph display).
