The service interval display detects when the next service is due for your vehicle.
There are two service interval display levels:
  • Inspection or oil change reminder: After a certain mileage, a service reminder will appear in the instrument cluster display each time the ignition is switched on/off Fig. 1. The distance or time remaining will be shown briefly.
  • Inspection or oil change due: When your vehicle is due for an inspection, oil change or both, the corresponding reminder Inspection due!, Oil change due! or Oil change and inspection due! will appear briefly after you switch the ignition on/off.
Checking the service intervals*
In the MMI*, you can look up the distance and time remaining until the next oil change or next service inspection. To do so, select MENU button > Systems / Car systems > Servicing & checks > Service intervals.
You cannot check the service interval for the first 500 km or so after resetting the display or when your vehicle is new.
