Service 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 as specified.
European service intervals
Due every 30,000 km or 1 year,
whichever occurs first.
International service intervals
Due every 15,000 km or 1 year,
whichever occurs first.
Confirmations
Confirmation of service is recorded in
the 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, and is
also a benefit when selling the
vehicle.
Fixed service interval
When
service is due, InSP appears in
the odometer display for
approximately 10 seconds when the
ignition is switched on. Have the next
service performed by a workshop
within one week or 500 km
(whichever occurs first).
Flexible service interval
The length of the service intervals is
based on several parameters
stemming from usage. For this
reason, various engine-specific data
is continually gathered and is used to
calculate the remaining distance until
the next service.
If the remaining distance is less than
1500 km, InSP is displayed with
a remaining distance of 1000 km
when the ignition is switched on and
off. If less than 1000 km remains,
InSP is displayed for several
seconds. Have the next service
