INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero re-
set. It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service. 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 service operations comes on. The
distance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next
service is due.

Example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner
goes
off ; the distance
recorder resumes its normal operation.
The screen then indicates the total and
trip distances. Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains on to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears in the
screen.
