MONITORING
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 a few 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 a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few 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.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its nor-
mal operation. The spanner remains 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 ser-
vice information appears in the screen.

MONITORING
Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, t h e s p a n n e r fl a s h e s to
indicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by
180 miles (300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its nor-
mal operation. The spanner remains on .
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 service indicator
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 re-
corder display begins a countdown,
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,
lock the vehicle and wait at least
fi v e m i n u t e s f o r t h e z e r o r e s e t t o
