ASSYST, the A
ctive S
ervice Syst
em, in-
forms you when the next service is due.
A service that is due is displayed about a
month or 1900 miles (3000 km) in ad-
vance. A message is then displayed
while the vehicle is in motion or the igni-
tion is switched on.
Active Service System (ASSYST)*
!
CAUTION
Periods when the battery is discon-
nected will not be recorded by AS-
SYST. To make sure that you have
the vehicle serviced at the correct
time, you should therefore subtract
periods when the battery is discon-
nected from the days shown.
The service indicator does not pro-
vide information about the engine oil
level. The service indicator should
not, therefore, be confused with
theP
engine oil level display.
iThe service due date is displayed in
days or miles (kilometers), depend-
ing on the total distance driven.
The time between the individual ser-
vice due dates depends on your style
of driving. You can increase this by:\4
driving with care and at a moder-
ate engine speed

avoiding short journeys where
the engine does not reach the op-
erating temperature
