The specified service intervals and scope of service always apply to vehicles used under normal operating conditions.
If the vehicle is operated under heavy-duty conditions, some work will have to be performed before the next service is due or at shorter
intervals than those specified.
Extreme conditions include:
—Fuels containing sulphur.
—Regular short trips.
—Long periods of engine idling, e.g. taxis.
—Use in areas with high levels of dust.
—Regular trailer towing.
—Mainly stop-and-go operation, e.g. in the city.
—Driving mainly in winter conditions
This applies particularly to the following components (depending on the vehicle equipment):
—Enhanced air filter with activated carbon
—Air filter.
—Toothed belt.
—Engine oil.
The service advisor at your qualified workshop will be pleased to advise you whether your vehicle requires more frequent work due to
the conditions under which it is used.
