- Fig. 1 Instrument cluster: Service interval display (example)
- Fig. 2 MMI* system display on dashboard: Service interval display (example)
The service interval display detects when the next service is due for your Audi A3.
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 Audi A3 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.
The following description distinguishes between Audi A3s with sound system* or MMI*.
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 Fig. 2. To do so, select MENU button > Car > control button 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 Audi A3 is new.

Caution!
- Do not reset the oil change interval display unless you have changed the oil.
- Keeping to the correct service intervals is most important for the service life and residual value of the Audi A3 (and especially for the life of the engine). Services must always be carried out promptly, even if the mileage is low.
- The time until the next oil change is not counted down if the battery is disconnected. If your Audi A3 is out of service for an extended period, please refer to the Service Schedule for details of the next service date.
