Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation lights up; the display for
the total distance recorder tells you (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. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, 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, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains lit. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.
Service overdue
Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner flashes
and the excess distance is
displayed.
With the engine running the spanner
remains lit until the service has been
carried out.
First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also lights up if the two-year interval has
elapsed.
The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the driver ’s driving
habits.
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
