c) Distance before service  
Distance remaining until the next service.  
There are several scenarios:  
– remaining mileage less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or next service due within  
two months. When the display selected is “mileage before service”, the symbol  
9 appears on display A. The message “Service due” appears on display B.  
– mileage before service equal to 0 miles/km or date of serviced reached. When  
the display selected is “mileage before service”, the symbol 9 flashes on dis-  
play A accompanied by warning light ©. The message “Service vehicle”  
appears on display B accompanied by symbol Êand warning light ©.  
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 etc.). The distance remaining until the next service can therefore be less than  
the actual distance remaining.  
Resetting the display after servicing  
The mileage before oil change/service must only be reset after a service which complies with the recommendations in the  
Maintenance Service Booklet.  
If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each time the oil is changed. This prevents the replacement  
interval from being exceeded for other parts included in the maintenance schedule.  
To reset the mileage before an oil change/service, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 seconds  
until the display shows the mileage permanently.
