What does the maintenance light look like on a Dacia ?
The maintenance counter is designed to remind you of the importance of servicing your car, especially performing an oil change. Depending on your vehicle’s engine type and the oil used, the oil change should be carried out every 15,000 / 20,000 / 30,000 km... This mileage is determined by the manufacturer at the factory..
On Dacia Sandero, Stepway, Duster, and Lodgy, you can identify the service light :
- a wrench icon
- an oil can symbol
- a multifunction icon or zigzag warning light (Dacia)w/li>
