c) Oil change interval

Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in

miles/kilometres and months), then when the service

nears, several scenarios are possible:

– distance/time remaining less than

900 miles

(1,500 km) or one month: the message “Service due

in” is displayed accompanied by the nearest term (dis-

tance or time);

– distance/time remaining

0 km/miles or service date

reached: the message “Service required” is displayed

accompanied by warning light

The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.

Service in

30000km /24 MONTHS

Service due in 100km

Service due in 10 days

NB: depending on the vehicle, the service interval 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 distance 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.

special note:

– If the dipped beam headlights are

manually switched on and if the light

is sufficient, the directional head-

lights will remain fixed;

– If the lights come on automatically

when cornering, the directional

headlights will start working from the

next time the vehicle corners;

– When the dipped beam headlights

are switched on with the engine

running and the vehicle stationary,

the lights move to reinitialise them-

selves. If not, there is a system fault.

switching off the lights

There are two possibilities:

– Manually, move ring 2 to position 0;

– automatically, the lights will go out

when the engine is switched off, the

driver’s door is opened or the vehicle

is locked. In this case, the next time

the engine is started the lights will be

switched back on according to the

position of the ring 2.

Note: if the fog lights are lit, the lights

are not switched off automatically.

“see-me-home lighting”

function

Depending on the vehicle, this func-

tion allows you to briefly switch on the

dipped beam headlights (to provide

light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights off, and

ring 2 in position 0, pull stalk 1 towards

you: the dipped beam headlights come

on for approximately thirty seconds.

To increase this duration, you may pull

the stalk up to four times (total time re-

stricted to two minutes). Depending

on the vehicle, the message “See-me-

home _ _ _” accompanied by the light-

ing time is displayed on the instrument

panel to confirm the action.
To switch off the lights before they go

out automatically, turn ring 2 to any po-

sition, then return it to position

Directional headlights

Depending on the vehicle, with the

dipped beam headlights on and under

certain conditions (speed, steering

wheel angle, forwards gear selected,

etc.) when cornering, the dipped beam

headlights move to light the inside of

the bend.
Operating faults
Depending on the vehicle, when the

message “Check lighting” appears on

the instrument panel along with the

warning light, this indicates that

there is a lighting fault.
