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. More than 600 miles (1 000 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: 4 800 km remain before the
next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates: 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 display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner is switched off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances. 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.

5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains lit .
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the driver's driving
habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded
the two year service interval. Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the maintenance in-
dicator must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
switch off the ignition,
press and hold the trip distance re-
corder zero reset button,
switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,
when the display indicates "=0" ,
release the button; the spanner dis-
appears. Retrieving the service information
You can access the service information
at any time.
Press the trip distance recorder zero
reset button.
The service information is displayed for
a few seconds, then disappears. Following this operation, if you
wish to disconnect the battery,
