e• Do not zero the display between the Service intervals. Otherwise an
incorrect reading will be shown.
• If the battery is disconnected the details in the service displayare
retained.
• If the instrument panel changes due to repair, the service interval display
must be reset. This should be carried out by a Technical Service Centre.
Should the display not be reprogrammed, then the service work should be
carried out in accordance with the Inspection and Maintenance Plan and not
according to the Service Interval Display. The Service interval indicator only
becomes valid again after carrying out an inspection and resetting the
indicator.

Checking acid level
Please refer to the warning notes in the chapter "Engine
compartment" before starting any type of work on the engine or
the engine compartment.
The acid/electrolyte level should be checked regularly in the
following cases:
– high mileage
– in countries with a warm climate
– old battery
The battery is otherwise service-free.
The acid level should always be around the
m ma
