(service indicator)
The FSS permits a flexible service schedule that is
directly related to the operating conditions of the
vehicle.
The symbol 9 or ½ appears together with a
message in the multifunction display prior to the next
suggested service. Depending on operating conditions
throughout the year, the next service is calculated and
displayed in days or distance remaining.The message is displayed for approx. 10 seconds when
turning the electronic key in steering lock to position 2,
or while driving when reaching the service warning
threshold.
The symbols and messages indicate the type of service
to be performed:
9Service A
½Service B
One of the following messages will appear in the display
(e.g. Service A):
“SERVICE A – IN xx DAYS”
“SERVICE A – IN xx MILES” (Canada: KM)
“SERVICE A – EXCEEDED BY xx DAYS”
“SERVICE A – EXCEEDED BY xx MILES” (Canada: KM)
“SERVICE A – DUE NOW”
The next service due date is displayed either in days or
in miles, depending on your driving style.
Once the suggested service term has passed, the symbol
and message appear for approx. 30 seconds and a signal
sounds every time when turning the electronic key in
steering lock to position 2.
