to high outside temperatures or severe

The displays shown in the illustration
appear for a few seconds when the
ignition key is in position 1 or after the
engine is started.
The remaining distance in miles before
the next scheduled service will appear
together with the display OILSERVICE

The computer bases its calculations for
the remaining distance on the preced-
ing driving conditions.
A flashing display and a "–" in front of
the number indicate that service is past
due by the number of miles displayed.
