Service Indicator Lights

Post by Goonerdad » Tue Oct 18, 2011 7:42 pm

Hi everyone,

Picked up my awesome 4.4 today and have a question already!

Where are the service indicator lights and when do they display? Car was serviced about 50 miles ago so i presume if they were reset properly then they would be all green on the dash somewhere!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Welcome!

:worthless:

And on turn of key you should see 5 green bars (left-side of OBD - On-board Display). Each green bar equates to 3000 miles (roughly), one amber after all the greens go out means get ready to book it in and the last and only red bar means, get it in asap.

Ignition position 2 (just before start-up) should give you a longer display of the bars but on start-up they disappear within seconds.
