vary depending on the outdoor light.

– manually: the brightness automati-

cally switches with the activation/de-

activation of the lights.

In both cases, the day mode varies

based on the outdoor brightness.

Good information visibility can be af-

fected by:

– the presence of an object placed

on the opened display;
– the polarisation of some spectacle

lenses;
– extreme weather conditions (rain,

snow, very strong sunlight, etc.).

one month: the message “Service due in” is displayed along

with the nearest limit (distance or time);

–

range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the

message “Service required” is displayed accompanied by

button OK for about 5 seconds to display the mileage before

the next service, then press button 2 to view the mileage before

the next oil change (distance or time remaining before the next

possible scenarios:

–

distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or

Service required

Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies according to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed,

door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can

therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before a service, press and hold button 2 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows

the range permanently.

NB: if a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mileage before the next service should be reset. In the

event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and the next oil change should be reset.

External temperature

indicator

Special note:
When the exterior temperature is - 3 °C

to + 3 °C, the °C characters flash (sig-

nalling a risk of ice on the road).

The time and/or external tempera-

ture are displayed on the multifunc-

tion screen 1
Refer to the handbook for the equip-

ment.

CLOCK AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE

External temperature

indicator
As ice formation is related

to climatic exposure, local

air humidity and temperature, the

external temperature alone is not

sufficient to detect ice.

If the electrical supply is cut (battery

disconnected, broken supply wire,

etc.), the clock will automatically

go back to the right time after a few

minutes once the system is capable

of receiving information GPS.
