Indicators
Service information
For a few seconds after the ignition is
s witched on, the spanner symbolising ser vice
information comes on: the screen informs you
when the next ser vice is due, in accordance
with the ser vicing schedule indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Engine oil level
Depending on the engine, the engine oil level
then appears, graduated from 1 (Min.) to 5
( M a x .) .
If no graduation is displayed, the oil level is
too low; it is essential that you top up to avoid
damaging the engine.
For the oil level reading to be accurate, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground, with
the engine off for more than 30
minutes.
This information is determined in relation to the
distance travelled since the previous service. If in doubt, check the level with the
dipstick.
For more information on Checking levels
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Engine oil condition
This warning lamp flashes and,
if your vehicle has this function,
a message is displayed at every
engine start: the system has
detected deterioration of the engine
oil. Have the oil changed as soon as
possible.
This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with the
1st, comes on in the instrument panel
when the oil has not been changed and
the deterioration of the oil has gone
beyond a
new threshold. If this warning
comes on at regular inter vals, have the
oil changed as soon as possible.
For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine
s peed is restricted to 3,000 rpm, then
1,500
rpm until the oil is changed. Have
the engine oil changed to avoid any risk of
damage.
After a
few seconds, the display returns to its
usual functions.
Resetting the servicing
information

manufacturer's service schedule which
