Maintenance system  
Principle  
The maintenance system provides service  
notifications and thereby provides support  
in maintaining road safety and the opera-  
tional reliability of the vehicle.  
Stationary periods  
Stationary periods during which the vehicle  
battery was disconnected are taken into ac-  
count.  
Some maintenance measures are time-de-  
pendent, e.g., replacing operating fluids.  
Have this maintenance work updated by an  
authorized service center or another quali-  
fied service center or repair shop.  
General information  
In some cases, scopes and intervals of the  
maintenance system may vary according  
to the country version. Replacement work,  
spare parts, fuels and lubricants, and wear  
materials are calculated separately. Further  
information is available from an authorized  
service center or another qualified service  
center or repair shop.

shop. Records of regular maintenance and  
repair work should be retained.  
Principle  
Condition Based Service determines the  
maintenance recommendation using sen-  
sors and special algorithms that take into  
account the operating conditions of the ve-  
hicle.

NOTICE  
The socket for Onboard Diagnosis is an  
intricate component intended to be used  
in conjunction with specialized equipment  
to check the vehicle’s primary emissions  
system. Improper use of the socket for  
Onboard Diagnosis, or contact with the  
socket for Onboard Diagnosis for other  
than its intended purpose, can cause vehi-  
cle malfunctions and creates risks of per-  
sonal and property damage. As such, it is  
strongly recommended that access to the  
diagnostic socket be limited to an author-  
ized service center or another qualified  
service center or repair shop, or other per-  
sons who have specialized training and  
equipment and who are able to use the  
diagnostic socket correctly.  
The warning light flashes under certain  
circumstances:  
This indicates that there is excessive  
misfiring in the engine.  
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the  
vehicle checked immediately; otherwise,  
serious engine misfiring within a brief  
period can seriously damage emission  
control components, in particular the  
catalytic converter.  
Have the vehicle checked by an authorized  
service center or another qualified service  
center or repair shop.
