iVehicles equipped with FSS {PLUS} (Flexible
Service System {PLUS}) only (Canada vehicles):
FSS {PLUS} evaluates engine temperature,
oil level, vehicle speed, engine speed, dis-
tance driven and the time elapsed since your
last service and calculates other mainte-
nance service work required.
The interval between maintenance services
depends on your driving habits. A gentle
driving style, moderate engine speeds and
the avoidance of short-distance trips will
lengthen the interval between services.
