The service interval display detects when the next service is due for your vehicle.
Checking the service intervals
On the infotainment system, you can look up the distance and time remaining until the next oil change and next service inspection.
Select the following on the infotainment system: MENU button > Car > left control button > Servicing & checks
> Service intervals.
(Applies to vehicles with flexible oil change service: )
You cannot check the service interval on a new vehicle until it has been driven for about 500 km.
Qualified workshops reset the service interval after the oil is changed. The distance to the next oil change is initially displayed based on the driving profile prior to the oil change. Your own personal driving profile is used subsequently to calculate the remaining distance. Frequent cold starts or short trips place extra demands on the engine oil with the result that the oil has to be changed more often.
Resetting the display
Your qualified workshop resets the service interval display after each service.
It is very important that you reset the oil change display if you change the oil yourself. In this case, the next oil change will be due after a fixed service interval.
Select the following on the infotainment system: MENU button > Car > left control button > Servicing & checks
> Service intervals
> Reset oil change interval.
You can see whether an oil change or service inspection is due on the infotainment display. There are two display levels:
- Service reminder: After a certain mileage, a service reminder will appear in the instrument cluster display each time the ignition is switched on. The distance and time remaining will be shown briefly.
- Service due: When your vehicle is due for a service, a message will appear briefly after you switch on the ignition.
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 vehicle (and especially for the life of the engine). Services must always be carried out promptly, even if the mileage is low.
