MONITORING
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in 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 param-
eters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last ser- vice.
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner goes 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 a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched

1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before
the next service is due
For a few 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: 1 739 miles (2 800 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no ser-
vice information appears on the display.
