Indicators
Service information
If in doubt, check the level with the
dipstick.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine
speed is restricted to 3,000 rpm, then
1,500 rpm until the oil is changed. Have
the engine oil changed to avoid any risk of
damage.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising service
information comes on: the screen informs you
when the next service is due, in accordance
with the servicing schedule indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Resetting the servicing
information
Continuous flashing of the indicator is stopped
by a qualified workshop using a diagnostic tool,
after each service.
If you have serviced your vehicle personally,
you must reset the service indicator as follows:
F insert the ignition key into the switch,
F turn it to the MAR position,
F simultaneously press the brake and
accelerator pedals for more than
15 seconds.
After a few seconds, the display returns to its
usual functions.
Engine oil condition
This information is determined in relation to the
distance travelled since the previous service.
This warning lamp flashes and,
if your vehicle has this function,
a message is displayed at every
engine start: the system has
detected deterioration of the engine
oil. Have the oil changed as soon as
possible.
Engine oil level
Depending on the engine, the engine oil level
then appears, graduated from 1 (Min.) to 5
(Max.).
If no graduation is displayed, the oil level is
too low; it is essential that you top up to avoid
damaging the engine.
For the oil level reading to be accurate, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground, with
the engine off for more than 30 minutes.
Refer to the list of checks in the
manufacturer's service schedule which
was given to you on handover of the
vehicle.
This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with the
1st, comes on in the instrument panel
when the oil has not been changed and
the deterioration of the oil has gone
beyond a new threshold. If this warning
comes on at regular intervals, have the
oil changed as soon as possible.
