Head-up display 7

The display details driving and navi-

gation information from the instrument 

panel and the multifunction screen.
If fitted to the vehicle, this comes on 

when the engine is started and is re-

tracted when the engine is switched off.

you can raise or lower the information 

on the display.

Adjusting the display brightness
You can adjust the brightness (day or 

night mode) 

–  automatically: the brightness will 

vary depending on the outdoor light.

–  manually: the brightness automati-

cally switches with the activation/de-

activation of the lights.

In both cases, the day mode varies 

based on the outdoor brightness.

Good information visibility can be af-

fected by:
– the seat position;
– the presence of an object placed 

on the opened display;
– the polarisation of some spectacle 

lenses;
– extreme weather conditions (rain, 

snow, very strong sunlight, etc.).

In the event of contradic-

tory information between 

the instrument panel and 

the head-up display/multi-

function screen, please refer to the 

information displayed on the instru-

ment panel. 

Do not manually force the opening/

closure of the head-up display.

For safety reasons, carry 

out any adjustments when

one month: the message “Service due in” is displayed along 

with the nearest limit (distance or time);

–  

range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the

button  OK for about 5 seconds to display the mileage before 

the next service, then press button 2 to view the mileage before 

the next oil change (distance or time remaining before the next

possible scenarios:

–  

distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or 

one month: the message “Service due in” is displayed, ac-

companied by the nearest term (distance or time);

–

Service Intervals

Oil change in

30 000 Kms / 24 mo

Service due in

300 Kms / 24 days

Service required

Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies according to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed, 

door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling 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.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before a service, press and hold button 2 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows 

the range permanently.

NB: if a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mileage before the next service should be reset. In the 

event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and the next oil change should be reset.

External temperature 

indicator

Special note:
When the exterior temperature is - 3 °C 

to + 3 °C, the °C characters flash (sig-

nalling a risk of ice on the road).

The time and/or external tempera-

ture are displayed on the multifunc-

tion screen 1
Refer to the handbook for the equip-

ment.

CLOCK AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE

External temperature 

indicator
As ice formation is related 

to climatic exposure, local 

air humidity and temperature, the 

external temperature alone is not 

sufficient to detect ice.

1

If the electrical supply is cut (battery 

disconnected, broken supply wire, 

etc.), the clock will automatically 

go back to the right time after a few 

minutes once the system is capable 

of receiving information GPS.
