International service intervals
Maintenance of your vehicle is
required every 15,000 km or after one year, whichever occurs first.
Additional engine oil and filter change
is indicated by the engine oil life
system, when required earlier than
maintenance.
Severe operating conditions exist if
one or more of the following
circumstances occur frequently: Cold starting, stop and go operation, trailer
operation, mountain driving, driving

Service and maintenance273on poor and sandy road surfaces,
increased air pollution, presence of
airborne sand and high dust content,
driving at high altitude and large
variations of temperature. Under
these severe operating conditions,
certain service work may be required more frequently than the regularservice interval.
The international service intervals are
valid for the countries which are not
listed in the European service
intervals.

Confirmations Confirmation of service is recorded inthe Service and warranty booklet.
The date and mileage is completed
with the stamp and signature of the
servicing workshop.
Make sure that the Service and
warranty booklet is completed
correctly as continuous proof of
service is essential if any warranty or
goodwill claims are to be met. It is also
a benefit when selling the vehicle.Recommended fluids,
lubricants and parts
Recommended fluids andlubricants
Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
aging control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 277.
Topping up engine oilCaution
In case of any spilled oil, wipe it up and dispose it properly.
Engine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine
oil quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oils for all petrol
engines with only ACEA quality is
prohibited, since it can cause engine
damage under certain operating
conditions.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 277.
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.

274Service and maintenanceEngine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade
depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 277.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only organic acid type-long life
coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for
the vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In
cold regions with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to
approx. -37 °C. This concentrationshould be maintained all year round.
The use of additional coolant
additives that intend to give additional
corrosion protection or seal against
minor leaks can cause function
problems. Liability for consequences
resulting from the use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Washer fluid
Use only washer fluid approved for
the vehicle to prevent damage of
wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and
rubber parts. Consult a workshop.
Brake and clutch fluidOver time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified
interval.

Customer information295Operating data in the vehicleControl units process data for
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, e.g.: ● vehicle status information (e.g. wheel rotation rate, speed,
movement delay, lateral
acceleration, "seatbelts
fastened" display),
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor).
As a rule such data is transient, not
stored for longer than an operational
cycle, and only processed on board
the vehicle itself. Control units often
include data storage (including the
vehicle key). This is used to allow information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle
condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.Depending on the technical
equipment level, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,
brakes)
● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used when necessary. Staff working
for the service net-work ( e.g. garages,manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.
breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which is read out,
documents the technical condition of
the vehicle or individual components
and assists with fault diagnosis,
compliance with warranty obligations
and quality improvement. This data,
in particular information on
component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the
vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also uses operating data
from vehicles for product recalls. This
data can also be used to check
customer warranty and guarantee
claims.

296Customer informationFault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs or at
your request.
Comfort and infotainment
functions
Comfort settings and custom settings can be stored in the vehicle and
changed or reset at any time.
Depending on the equipment level in
question, these include
● seat and steering wheel position settings
● chassis and air conditioning settings
● custom settings such as interior lighting
You can input your own data in the
infotainment functions for your
vehicle as part of the selected
features.Depending on the equipment level in
question, these include
● multimedia data such as music, videos or photos for playback in
an integrated multimedia system
● address book data for use with an
integrated hands-free system or
an integrated navigation system
● input destinations
● data on the use of online services
This data for comfort and
infotainment functions can be stored
locally in the vehicle or be kept on a
device that you have connected to the
vehicle ( e.g. a smartphone, USB stick
or MP3 player). Data that you have
input yourself can be deleted at any
time.
This data can only be transmitted out
of the vehicle at your request,
particularly when using online
services in accordance with the
settings selected by you.Smartphone integration, e.g.
Android Auto or Apple CarPlay
If your vehicle is equipped
accordingly, you can connect your
smartphone or another mobile device to the vehicle so that you can control
it via the controls integrated in the
vehicle. The smartphone image and
sound can be output via the
multimedia system in this case. At the
same time, specific information is
transmitted to your smartphone.
Depending on the type of integration, this includes data such as position
data, day / night mode and other
general vehicle information. For more
information, please see the operating
instructions for the vehicle /
infotainment system.
Integration allows selected
smartphone apps to be used, such as navigation or music playback. No
further integration is possible
between smartphone and vehicle, in
particular active access to vehicle
data. The nature of further data
processing is determined by the
provider of the app used. Whether
you can define settings, and if so
