Service indicator

This information is displayed for a few
seconds after switching on the igni-
tion. 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 service indica-
tor zero reset. It is determined by two
parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last ser-
vice.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears in the in-
strument panel central screen.

Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
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 or a spe-
cifi c message in the instrument panel
central screen indicates the distance re-
maining before the next service is due.

For example:
1 700 miles (2 800 km)
remain before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain
before the next service is due

Example:
560 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner goes off
; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The screen then indicates
the total and trip distances. A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains on
to indicate that a
service must be carried out soon.

Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes
to
indicate that the service must be car-
ried out as soon as possible.

Example:
the service is overdue by
180 miles (300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder re-
sumes its normal operation. The span-
ner remains on
.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the type of driving.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded
the two year service interval.







Service indicator zero reset
This operation cannot be car-
ried out while a reminder of the
servicing information is being
displayed.
Following this operation, if you
wish to disconnect the battery,
lock the vehicle and wait at least

be registered.

at any time.



Briefl y press the ".../000"
trip dis-
tance recorder zero reset button.

trip dis-
tance recorder zero reset button,
