Interpreting some of the

values displayed after

resetting

The values showing average fuel con-

sumption, range and average speed

will become more stable and reliable

the further you travel after pressing the

reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing

the reset key you will notice that the

range increases as you travel. This

range takes into account the average

fuel consumption since the last time the

reset button was pressed. Therefore,

the average fuel consumption may de-

crease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operating

temperature (if the engine was cold

when reset key was pressed);

– when driving from a built-up area

onto the open road.

c) mileage before service.

Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in miles (kil-

ometres) and months), then when the service nears, several sce-

narios are possible:

– range less than

900 miles (1,500 km) or one month: the

message “Service due in” is displayed accompanied by the

nearest term (distance or time);

– range equal to

0 miles (0 km) or date of service reached:

the message “service vehicle” is displayed accompanied by

warning light

©

.

The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.

Note: depending on the vehicle, the distance before a service changes according to driving style (frequent driving at low

speeds, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next service

can therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.
Resetting the display after the service in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

The mileage before service must only be reset after a service which complies with the recommendations in the maintenance

schedule.
If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each time the oil is changed to avoid exceeding the re-

placement intervals for other parts in the maintenance schedule.
special note: To reset the distance before service, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 sec-

onds until the display shows the mileage permanently.
