hello,
on my Ulysse (mod 2000), it is written 18700 when I start the engine, then the normal distance appears 479xx.

what is it ?

It could be service interval counter - it should reduce gradually everytime you use the car.

I asked on another french forum and yes, that's it.
I m just amazed as it is frozen on 18700.. I guess it will change at 48000 ???

Hey, I got one right!

You certain it is frozen. On ours it seems to go down everytime I start the car [V], at present it is about 2750 miles, which fits in to our mileage - first service due end of August, car done c.7k since September

I'm about 5000 miles off my second service, and the counter has showed the right interval running up to each. Get top within about 300 miles of the service interval and it'll start spouting warnings!! :-(
