General information
In order to ensure economical and safe
vehicle operation and to maintain the
value of your vehicle, it is of vital
importance that all maintenance work is
carried out at the proper intervals.
The detailed, up-to-date service schedule
for your vehicle is available at the
workshop.
Severe operating conditions exist if one
or more of the following circumstances
occur frequently: Cold starting, stop and
go operation, e.g. for taxis and police
vehicles, trailer operation, mountain
driving, driving on poor and sandy
road surfaces, increased air pollution,
presence of airborne sand and high dust
content, driving at high altitude and large
variations in temperature.
Under these severe operating conditions,
certain service work may be required
more frequently than the regular service
interval indicated in the service display.
Contact a workshop for customised
service schedules.
