SERVICE INDICATOR

This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It 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

When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears on the
instrument panel central screen.
