Maintenance indicator
The maintenance indicator informs you when the next service is due, in conformity with the servicing programme detailed in the vehicle’s Maintenance Guide. This information is determined depending on two parameters: the mileage travelled and the time elapsed since the previous service.
Operation
When the ignition is switched on and for several seconds afterwards, the maintenance spanner symbol appears; the total mileage recorder shows how many miles remain to be travelled before the next service is due (in thousands and hundreds of miles).
For example: you have the following distance left to travel before the next service:
A few seconds afterwards, the total mileage display appears.
Functioning if the distance to the next service is less than 600 miles
Each time the ignition is switched on, and for five seconds, the maintenance symbol and the mileage will flash.
For example: you have the following distance left to travel before the next service: 900 km.
For five seconds on switching on the ignition, the display shows
A few seconds afterwards, the total mileage display appears and the maintenance symbol remains illuminated. This signifies that the vehicle will be due for a service shortly.
Functioning if the service interval is exceeded
Each time the ignition is switched on, the maintenance symbol and the extra mileage travelled (with a minus in front) will flash.
For example: the preset service distance has been exceeded by 300 km. Your vehicle must be serviced as soon as possible.
A few seconds after you have switched on the ignition, the total mileage recorder returns to its normal operation and the maintenance symbol remains illuminated.
Maintenance intervals
If your vehicle is used in particularly harsh conditions, it is necessary to select the maintenance schedules for "special operating conditions" (see the Maintenance Guide) which consist of more frequent services.
Resetting the mileage indicator to zero
Your CITROËN dealer performs this operation after each service. However, if you carry out the servicing yourself, the procedure for resetting to zero is as follows:
- S witch off the ignition, then place the key on position S, steering lock.
- Press control 1 and keep it pressed.
- S witch on the ignition.
- Keep control 1 pressed until the zero appears and the maintenance symbol disappears.
- Switch off the ignition.
