SERVICE INDICATOR
This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It 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 parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
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
instrument panel central screen.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbolising
the service operations comes on. The instrument panel central screen
indicates the distance remaining before the next service is due.
Example:
1 700 miles remain before the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the central screen
indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain before the next service is due
Example:
