53Monitoring
This information is displayed for a few seconds
after switching on the ignition. It informs
the driver when the next ser vice is due, in
accordance with the manufacturer's ser vicing
schedule.
The point at which the ser vice is due is
calculated from the last service indicator zero
reset. It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last ser vice.
Service indicator
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 ser vice
operations comes on. The distance recorder
display line or a specific message in the
instrument panel central screen indicates the
distance remaining before the next ser vice is due.
For example:
1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next ser vice 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 ser vice is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on
to
indicate that a ser vice must be carried out
soon.
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.
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 instrument panel central screen.

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on

The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the type of driving.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the two year
