vehicle is subject to increased stress.
The ASSYST PLUS service interval display is only
an aid. The driver of the vehicle bears responsibil-
ity as regards to whether maintenance work
needs to be performed more oen than specied
based on the actual operating conditions and/or
loads.
Examples of arduous operating conditions:

Leather is a natural product. It has natural
surface properties, such as dierences in
structure, marks caused by growth and injury
or subtle color dierences. These surface
properties are characteristics of leather and
not material faults. What's more, leather is
subject to a natural aging process during
which the surface properties change.
