Monitoring

Library of indicator and warning lamps

Certain warning lamps may come on in
one of two modes. Only by relating the
type of lighting to the operating status
of the vehicle can it be ascertained
whether the situation is normal or
whether a fault has occurred.

When the ignition is switched on

Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
information in the table on the warning lamp
concerned.

Associated warnings

The illumination of certain warning lamps
may be accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument panel or
multifunction screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously
(fixed) or flash.

Indicator and warning lamps

● indicator lamp informing that a system is switched on,

Monitoring

Service indicator

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 in the screen.

System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last reset of the indicator,
according to the mileage covered and the time
elapsed since the last service.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the degree of
deterioration of the engine oil is also taken into
account.

Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due

For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
spanner symbolising the service operations comes
on. The distance recorder display line 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 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
screen indicates:

7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total and trip distances.

Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)

Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,

Service overdue

For 7 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 186 miles
(300 km).
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
screen indicates:

For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this
alert is also accompanied by the fixed
illumination of the Service warning
lamp, when the ignition is switched on.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the
warranty and maintenance record.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on early,
according to the degree of deterioration
of the engine oil. The deterioration
of the engine oil depends on the
conditions in which the vehicle is used.

7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on.
