remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no ser vice
information appears in the screen. System which informs the driver when the
next ser vice is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's ser vicing schedule.
The point at which the ser vice is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero reset. It
is determined by two parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last ser vice.


Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
spanner symbolising the ser vice operations comes
on. The distance recorder display line indicates the
distance remaining before the next ser vice is due.

Example:
1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next ser vice is due.

on if you have exceeded the period
since the last ser vice, indicated in the
maintenance and warranty guide.
Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
zero reset to be taken into account. 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on
