c) Mileage before service.
Distance remaining before the next service. When the distance value approaches
the limit, there are several possible scenarios:
– mileage before service less than 900 miles (1,500 km): the message “Service
due in ” is displayed, accompanied by the remaining mileage;
– distance equal to 0 miles or service date reached: the message “service vehi-
cle” is displayed accompanied by the
© warning light.
The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before a service changes according to driving style (frequent driving at low speeds,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing, etc.). The distance remaining until the next service can therefore de-
crease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.
Resetting the display after the service in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
The mileage before service must only be reset after a service which complies with the recommendations in the Maintenance
Service Booklet. If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each time the oil is changed to avoid ex-
ceeding the replacement intervals for other parts in the maintenance schedule.
To reset the distance before service, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 seconds until the dis-
play shows the mileage permanently.

mark: the message “ Top up oil level ”
appears on the instrument panel dis -
play.

possible.
Engine oil level: general information
enGIne OIL LeVeL: general information (1/2)
The display only warns the
driver if the oil level is at the
minimum level. It does not
inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum
level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact an approved Dealer if
more than 0.5 litres is being consumed
every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the
running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
t he dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.Oil level information on the
instrument panel
While starting the engine, press either 3
or 4 when the message “Checking con-
trol functions” appears.
if the level is above the minimum
level:
The “Oil level ” message appears on the
display, accompanied by squares 1 in -
dicating the level. These squares dis -
appear as the level drops and they are
replaced by squares 2.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press button 3 or 4 again.

Engine oil change
enGIne OIL LeVeL: topping up/filling (2/2)
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.
e ngine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
