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
reset. It is determined by two parame-
ters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last
service.
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner goes off
; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display 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 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
to indicate that a service must be carried
out soon.
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:
1 739 miles (2 800 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
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 on the
display.

appears. The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the type of driving.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded
the two year service interval.

switched on, the spanner fl ashes
to in-
dicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.
