average  
fuel  
consumption

c) Mileage before oil change/service  
(Displayed as the oil change mileage approaches.)  
Distance left before the next service.  
There are several scenarios:  
24058  
- range less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or next service recommended  
within two months. The “SERVICE! CHANGE OIL” message is displayed  
Ê
along with the  
symbol (as long as “mileage before service” is displayed,  
or for 15 seconds).  
- mileage before service equal to 0 miles/km or date of service reached.  
Ê
The “SERVICE! CHANGE OIL” message is displayed along with the  
symbol flashing when the “mileage before service” display is selected.  
Resetting the display after service in accordance with the maintenance  
program  
The mileage before oil change/service must only be reset after a service  
complying with the recommendations in the Warranty and Servicing  
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  
program.  
To reset the mileage before oil change/service, press and hold one of the  
display reset buttons for approximately 10 seconds until the display  
shows the mileage permanently.
