The FSS permits a flexible service schedule that is
directly related to the operating conditions of the
vehicle.
The symbol9 or½ appears together with a
message in the multifunction indicator prior to the next
suggested service. Depending on operating conditions
throughout the year, the next service is calculated and
displayed in days or distance remaining.The message is displayed for approximately 10 seconds
when turning the electronic key in starter switch to
position 2, or while driving when reaching the service
warning threshold.
The symbols and messages indicate the type of service
to be performed:
9Service A
½Service B
One of the following messages will appear in the display
(e.g. Service A):
“SERVICE A – IN xx DAYS”
“SERVICE A – IN xx MILES” (Canada: KM)
“SERVICE A – EXCEEDED BY xx DAYS”
“SERVICE A – EXCEEDED BY xx MILES” (Canada: KM)
“SERVICE A – PERFORM SERVICE”
The next service due date is displayed either in days or
in miles, depending on your driving style.
Once the suggested service term has passed, the symbol
and message appear for approximately 30 seconds and
a signal sounds every time when turning the electronic
key in starter switch to position 2.

(e.g. tire puncture caused by a foreign object). In
this case bring vehicle to a halt by carefully
applying the service brakes and avoiding abrupt
steering maneuvers.

Notes:
Following a tire inflation pressure reactivation process
the real tire inflation pressures are displayed only after
a few minutes travel time.
Possible differences between readings of a tire pressure
gauge of an air hose, e.g. gas station equipment, and the
vehicle’s multifunction display can occur. The vehicle’s
multifunction display of the tire inflation pressure
monitor is a more precise reading.Activation of tire inflation pressure monitor
Activation of tire inflation pressure monitor is
necessary if tire inflation pressure is being changed,
wheels or tires are replaced, or new wheels are installed
on the vehicle.
Tire inflation pressure should be checked and corrected
according to the label affixed inside the fuel filler flap.
For a detailed description, refer to page 351.
Turn electronic key in starter switch to position 2 (the
