SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals
according to the use of the vehicle.More than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Example:
4 800 miles/km remain
before
the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few
seconds, the screen shows:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance recorder resumes normal
operation showing the total and trip
distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner flashes and the number of miles/kilometres
remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance recorder resumes normal
operation
and the spanner remains on.
This indicates that a service should be
carried
out shortly.
Service overdue
Operation
A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation comes
on; the display for the total distance
recorder
gives
(in
round
figures)
the
distance remaining before the next
service.
The points at which a service is due
are calculated from the last indicator
zero
reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined
by
two
parameters:
-
the distance travelled,
-
the time which has elapsed since
the
last
service.
The distance remaining before the
next service may be weighted by
the time factor, depending on the
type
of
driving. With the engine running the spanner
remains on until the service has been
carried
out.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this
alert
is also accompanied by the fixed
illu
mination of the Service warning
lamp,
on switching on the ignition.
Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
flashes
and the excess
distance
is displayed.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on early,
according the level of deterioration
of
the engine oil. Deterioration of the
engine oil depends on the conditions of
use
of the vehicle.
