display  of  a  message,  accompanied  by  the Â
s
ervice  warning  lamp  and  an  audible  signal.
If

Service indicator
System that informs the driver when the next  service  is  due,  in  accordance  with  the Â
ma
nufacturer's
 ser
vice
 s
chedule.
The point at which the service is due
is
 calculated  from  the  last  service Â
i
ndicator zero reset,  according  to  the  distance Â
c
overed  and  the  time  elapsed  since  the  last Â
ser
vice.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the level of
deterioration
 of  the  engine  oil  may  also  be Â
t
aken  into  account,  depending  on  the  country Â
o
f  sale.
More than 1800 miles (3000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears  in  the  instrument  panel  central  screen.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1800 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 o

For example:

1  700  miles  (2  800  km)  remain
 b
efore  the  next  service  is  due.
For
 a  few  seconds  after  the  ignition  is  switched

Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560  miles  (900  km)  remain  before  t
he  next  service  is  due.
For
 a  few  seconds  after  the  ignition  is  switched Â

A
Â
