The display of information shown below DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT \
AND COUNTRY.
ON-BOARD COMPUTER: trip settings (4/5)
Examples of selectionsInterpreting the display selected
On-board computer with distance before

c) Mileage before service or oil change.Mileage before service
With the ignition on, the engine not running and the display
selected “Reichweite bis zur Wartung”, press button OK for about
5 seconds to display the mileage before the next service, then
press button 2 to view the mileage before the next oil change
(distance or time remaining before the next service). When the
distance value approaches its limit, there are several possible
scenarios:
– distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or
one month : the message “Service due in” is displayed, ac-
companied by the nearest term (distance or time);
– range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the
message “Service required” is displayed accompanied by
warning light
©.
The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.
Service Intervals
Oil change in
30 000 Kms / 24 mo
Service due in
300 Kms / 24 days
Service required
Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accord\
ing to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed ,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can
therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance t\
ravelled.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before a service, press and hold button 2 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows
the range permanently.
Note: If a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mi\
leage before the next service should be reset. In the
event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and th\
e next oil change should be reset.

Automatic main beam
headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system
switches the main beam headlights on
and off automatically. The function uses
a camera located behind the interior
rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that
are following and coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The main beam headlights come on au-
tomatically if:
– exterior light is weak;
– no other vehicles or lighting are de-tected;
– the vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 30 mph (45 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not
fulfilled, the system switches to dipped
beam headlights.
The “automatic main beam
headlights” system should
under no circumstances be
used to replace driver atten-
tion and responsibility with regard
to vehicle lighting and adapting to
light, visibility and traffic conditions.Using the portable naviga-
tion system at night in the
windscreen area below the
camera may disturb the
operation of the “automatic main
beam headlights” system (risk of re-
flection on the windscreen).
