ble.  If  you  fail  to  follow  this  recom -
mendation,  you  risk  damaging  your

quires  you  to  stop  immedi -
ately,  for  your  own  safety, 
as  soon  as  traffic  conditions  allow.

parent, this indicates a fault 
in the instrument panel. This 
indicates  that  it  is  essential 
to stop immediately (as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow). Ensure that the

c) Oil change interval Distance  remaining  until  the  next  oil  change  (displayed  in  miles/kilometres  and 
months), then when the time nears, several scenarios are possible:
–
   distance/time remaining less than  900 miles (1,500 km) or one month: the mes-
sage “oil change due” is displayed;
–
   distance/time  remaining  0  km/milesor service  date  reached :  the  message 
“change oil soon” is displayed, accompanied by the 
Ê and ú warning lights.
The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.
nB:  depending  on  the  vehicle,  the  interval  between  oil  changes  varies  according  to  the  driving  style  (frequent  driving  at  low 
speed, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change 
can therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distan\
ce travelled.
The  oil  change  intervals  are  independent  of  the  vehicle’s  maintenance  schedule:  please  refer  to  your  vehicle’s  Maintenance 
Service Booklet.
resetting: to reset the oil change interval, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 seconds until 
the display shows the interval permanently.
