Engine version factor (gasoline/diesel)
National factor (The kilometer or mileage is coded in accordance with the national version.)
Distance travelled :
ASSYST is supplied with the 4 wheel speeds from the traction systems control module (N47) over the
CAN for calculating the distance travelled.
Time
ASSYST is supplied with the time information from the clock integrated in the instrument cluster.

The remaining distance is displayed with a resolution of 100 km.
If a speed limit is set at the cruise control, the speed limit appears for a short moment in the display before
the ASSYST text.
In the normal case, it is the remaining distance which is displayed. However, the time information is always
processed in the background to enable the attention of "low-mileage drivers" to be drawn to any service due.
The remaining distance is compared each day with the remaining time. In certain circumstances, the display
switches over, and it is the remaining time which is displayed ( see document "Remaining time").
If certain measured values are not supplied to the ASSYST system, e.g. because of failure of a sensor, it
switches over to stored substitute values. A corresponding entry is made in the fault memory of the relevant
control module.
The data are retained if the operating voltage is disconnected or fails.

Start time and remaining time
Start time refers to the service interval in days immediately after the oil change
The start time is not dependent on the driving conditions and any oil replenishments .
The start time is 730 days ( 365 days).
The start time is automatically reset to its initial value by the oil change reset after each oil change. The start
time is an internal computed variable and cannotbe displayed in the instrument cluster. It is possible to display
the start time with the HHT.
The remaining time is displayed in the instrument cluster under certain conditions as stated below.
The remaining time is the time which remains until the next service.
The remaining time is only of importance for "low-mileage drivers". (It is therefore the remaining distance
which is displayed as a general rule.)
The remaining time depends on:
the start time
the driving conditions (the distance driven is weighted in this case.)
Replenishing oil, however, does not have any influence on the remaining time.
As a result of these dependent factors, ASSYST proves to be a demand-oriented system even for "low-mileage
drivers". Depending on the weighting of the factors, the service interval for "low-mileage drivers" is between 1
and 2
years.
