What does 'service' mean when it appears on a Citroën?
2 Answers
The appearance of 'service' on the Citroën dashboard indicates a regular maintenance reminder or a need for repair. Here is more information about Citroën: 1. Citroën Automobile Company is the third-largest automobile company in France, founded in 1915 by André Citroën. The company's headquarters is located in Paris, France. 2. Citroën's main products are passenger cars and light trucks. 3. At the beginning of its establishment, Citroën was during the height of World War I, so its products were mainly artillery shells and military equipment. It wasn't until after the war that the company began to engage in automobile manufacturing. In 1934, it produced France's first front-wheel-drive car.
I've been driving for almost ten years, and seeing the 'Service' prompt on the dashboard is actually quite common—nothing to worry about. It's a maintenance reminder feature in Citroën vehicles, indicating that your car is due for its regular service. Specifically, Citroën's maintenance cycle is typically every 15,000 kilometers or once a year. When this prompt appears, it's reminding you to get an oil change, check the filters or brake system, and so on. Don't ignore this alert just because you're busy driving. If not addressed promptly, accumulated impurities in the engine can lead to reduced power or increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even damage engine components. I once delayed servicing for two weeks and experienced noticeable engine shuddering. After that, I promptly took it to the dealership, spent a little on maintenance, and it was back to normal. My advice: as soon as you see this prompt, contact a professional service center for a check-up. Developing a habit of regular maintenance will keep your car running longer and safer.
