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 service 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 (only on HDi Diesel
versions).

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 a few 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 (2 800 km) remain before the next service is due.

For a few 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: 500 miles (900 km) remain before the next service is due.

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the central screen
indicates:

The spanner remains on in the small screen
to indicate that a service must be carried out
soon.

RCZ_en_Chap01_controle-de-marche_ed01-2015

Service overdue

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner
flashes to indicate that the service must be carried out as soon as
possible.

Example: the service is overdue by 300 miles (300 km).

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the central screen
indicates:

The spanner remains on in the small screen
to indicate that a service should have been
carried out.

The distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor,
depending on the type of motoring the vehicle is used for.

Therefore, the spanner may also come on if you have exceeded
the period since the last service specified in the manufacturer's
service schedule.

This indication applies only to HDi Diesel engines.
