Warning lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver of a fault (warning lamp) or of a system being switched on (operating or deactivation lamp).

When the ignition is switched on

Some warning lamps light up for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.

Once the engine starts, these same lamps should go out.

If they stay on, check the relevant warning lamp before driving.

Associated warnings

Certain lamps, whether steady or flashing, may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the screen.

Service indicator

This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. It informs the driver of when the next service is due, in accordance with the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.

This due date is calculated from the last reset of the indicator. It is determined by two parameters:

• the distance travelled,
• the time elapsed since the last service.

Service due in more than 3,000 km

When the ignition is switched on, no maintenance information is displayed in the instrument cluster's central display.

Service due between 1,000 km and 3,000 km

When the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbol, which indicates maintenance operations, lights up for 7 seconds.

The central display of the instrument cluster shows the number of kilometres remaining before the next service.

Example: you have 2,800 km remaining before the next service.

When the ignition is switched on, the central display shows for 7 seconds:

Service due in less than 1,000 km

Example: you have 900 km remaining before the next service.

When the ignition is switched on, the central display shows for 7 seconds:

The spanner symbol remains lit in the display to indicate that a service is due soon.

Service overdue

Each time the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbol flashes for 7 seconds to indicate that the service is due very soon.

Example: the service due point has been exceeded by 300 km.

When the ignition is switched on, the central display shows for 7 seconds:

The spanner symbol remains permanently lit in the display to indicate that a service should have been carried out.

The remaining distance may be adjusted by a time factor, depending on the driver's driving habits.

The key may therefore also light up if the two-year service interval has been exceeded. Resetting the service indicator
Resetting the service indicator

After each service, the maintenance indicator must be reset.

To do this, carry out the following procedure:

• switch off the ignition,
• press and hold the daily trip odometer reset button,
• switch on the ignition; the odometer display starts a countdown,
• when the display shows "=0", release the button; the spanner symbol goes out.

After this operation, if you want to disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle and wait at least five minutes so that the reset is taken into account.
