It informs you when the next routine service is due in accordance with the vehicle servicing schedule in the Maintenance Guide. This information is dependent on two p arameters: the mileage covered, and the time elapsed since the last visit.
Operation
On switching on the ignition, the maintenance indicator spanner appears in the display for several seconds. The mileage recorder display indicates how many miles remain to be travelled before the next service is due (in thousands and hundreds of miles).
Example: there remain up to the next service:
A few seconds after this, the engine oil level indicator is displayed, then the total mileage recorder resumes its normal role.
Operation if the distance to the next service is less than 1 000 km (600 miles)
Each time you switch on the igni- t i o n a n d f o r 5 s e c o n d s , t h e s p a n - n e r a n d t h e d i s t a n c e fl a s h .
Example: there remain up to the n e x t s e r v i c e : 5 0 0 k m ( 3 0 0 m i l e s ) . On switching on the ignition and for 5 s e c o n d s , t h e i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l indicates:
A few seconds after this, the engine oil level indicator is displayed, then the total mileage recorder resumes its normal role and the mainte-nance symbol remains lit up. This is a warning to you that a service must be carried out at the earliest opportunity.
Operation if the service interval has been passed
Each time you switch on the igni-tion, the maintenance symbol and the distance covered (preceded by a minus) beyond the recom- m e n d e d i n t e r v a l fl a s h .
Example: You have exceeded t h e s e r v i c e i n t e r v a l b y 3 0 0 k m ( 3 0 0 m i l e s ) .
The routine service on your vehi-cle needs to be carried as soon as possible.
A few seconds after this, the engine oil level indicator is displayed, then the total mileage recorder resumes its normal role and the mainte-nance symbol remains lit up.

Distance travelled
This is the distance that has been travelled since the l a s t r e s e t t o z e r o o f t h e J o u r n e y s e l e c t e d .
Average consumption
This is the relationship between the fuel consumed and the distance travelled since the last reset to zero of the trip computer.
Average speed
This is obtained, from the last reset to zero of the trip computer, by dividing the distance travelled by the time taken (with ignition switched on).

This operates all the direction indi-cators simultaneously.
Only use them to indicate dan-ger, for an emergency stop or for driving in abnormal conditions.
The hazard lamps can also be used with the ignition switched off.
Sound signal for headlamps left on
This operates when the driver's door is opened, ignition off, to indi-cate that the vehicle lamps are still on.
It stops when you close the door, switch off the lamps or switch on the ignition.
This signal does not operate if the automatic lighting of headlamps or the guide-me-home lighting are active.
Emergency operation of haz-ard warning lamps
A sudden deceleration of the vehi-cle causes the hazard lamps to come on automatically.
They will cease to operate auto-matically, or manually if you press the hazard lamps button on the dashboard.
The direction indicators cannot operate if the hazard warning lamps are on.
