3.2  
Entries in service schedule  
If a component is changed which has a change interval prescri‐  
bed by the manufacturer, e.g. the toothed belt, the new change  
interval begins at the time the component is changed.  
Therefore it is very important, every time a component is  
changed, to document this in the service schedule.  
This also applies to components which were changed before  
the regular change interval.  
3.3  
Severe operating conditions  
If the vehicle is used under severe operating conditions some  
work will have to be performed before the next service is due or  
at shorter service intervals.  
Regular short trips or stop and go operation in urban traffic  
High percentage of cold starts  
Vehicle is used in areas with winter temperatures over a  
long period  
Regular long periods of idling (e.g. taxis)  
Vehicle is often driven at full throttle with high payload or  
whilst towing a trailer  
Using diesel with elevated sulphur content  
Regular operation in areas with high levels of dust  
Countries with generally poor road conditions such as high  
number of potholes, protrusions, high elevations in the road/  
deep “tramlines”.  
High number of gravel roads with poor surface quality,  
such as irregularities/bumps, elevations, protruding stones,  
waves.  
Subtropical climates (combination of high ambient tempera‐  
ture and high air humidity)
