WARNING
The airbag system operates using pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or
door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). The resulting dam-
age can negatively affect the function of the airbag system - there is a risk
of accidents and fatal injuries! The following guidelines must be observed.
Any work on the front doors and their door panels must be carried out by
■
a specialist garage.
Never drive with removed inner door panels or openings in the panels.

Introduction
The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will remind
you to carry out every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time
in order to prevent you from forgetting them
The completion of services can be verified through the printed verification
from the digital service schedule and the respective receipts.
The specified service intervals are tailored to normal operating conditions.
In the case of difficult operating conditions, it is necessary to have some serv-
ice work performed before the date of the next service or between the speci-
fied service intervals. This applies mainly to the cleaning or the replacement of
the air filter insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as well as checking and
replacing the toothed belt, but also to vehicles with diesel particle filters,
which can put greater strain on the engine oil.
The following is understood under difficult conditions:
▶ Fuel containing sulphur.
▶ Frequent short trips.
▶ Longer periods of engine idling (e.g. taxis).
▶ Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution.
Frequent trailer operation.
