Service intervals
Introduction
The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will remind
you to carry out every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time
in order to prevent you from forgetting any» page 28.
The completion of services can be verified through the printed verification
from the digital service schedule and the respective receipts.
The specified service intervals are tailored to normal operating conditions.
In the case of aggravated operating conditions, it will be necessary to have
some service work carried out before the date of the next regular service or
between the specified service intervals. This applies mainly to the cleaning or
the replacement of the air filter insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as
well as checking and replacing the toothed belt, but also to vehicles with parti-
cle filters, which can put greater strain on the engine oil.
The following is taken to mean aggravated operating conditions:
▶
Frequent short trips.
▶
Longer periods of engine idling (e.g. taxis).
▶
Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution.
▶
Predominantly stop-and-go traffic as is e.g. often the case in city driving.
▶
Operation predominantly during winter.
▶
Fuel with sulphur content.
You will be told at the specialist garage whether the operating conditions of
your vehicle may make it necessary for service work to be carried out be-
tween the normal service intervals.
