PROGRAMMING THE INTERVALS TO REQUIREMENTS

With todays higher spec oils and/or peoples need and desire to service more regular there is a way
to alter the counters to your prefered settings (within reason)

1- Turn on ignition (don’t start the car)

2- press the trip-reset button also press the Minute set button on the clock (lower one)

3- The LCD display “OEL 1,S” where the “S” indicates SET

4- Using the trip-reset button you can call up the following counter data in sequence

OEL 1,S – Distance counter for oil change (7500 standard)

OEL 2,S – Time counter for oil change (12 months)

IN 01,S – Time counter for yearly service interval (12 months)

IN 02,S – Distance counter for full service (15000 miles)

5- Using the minute SET button on the clock (lower one) you can display the current value
repeated pressing of the button will select a subsequent lower value and at the lowest level
will reset to the highest and start to decrease again (so don’t panic)

the steps work in miles (500 at a time) and time steps in bi-monthly (1=2months) i.e.1-2-3-4-5-6

6- Once you have set the counter to the value you require – turn off the ignition
