Another servicing question!
« on: August 13, 2009, 07:07:14 pm »
Im pretty sure my car is on T&D.

When I bought my car, it always used to tell me the miles or days remaining until it needed a service when I switched the car on, via the highline display.

Had the car serviced on Monday, and it no longer informs me of the miles and days remaining.
I understand the service indicator has been reset after the service, but is it still supposed to show me the days or miles until the next service, or does it only show you this nearer the time of the service?

Only shows you when it gets close to the service due time...

You have to drive around 500 miles after your service before you'll see the milage and days left before next service displayed.

I stand corrected! However I never had it display everytime I switched on until 30 days before it was due - this may be possibly because I am not on T&D

That behaviour is perfectly normal.

You can "force" it to display by closing the doors, put on seat belt, turn on the ignition but don't start the car then keep pressing on the reset milage button.
