Additional servicing
Additional operations ⊕
Additional work is work that is not
required every service but can be
performed in conjunction with a
regular service.
Time allowances for such work are
not included in the scope of regular
services and will be charged for
additionally. It is more economic if
these operations are performed as
part of a scheduled service than
having them performed separately.
Severe operating conditions o
Operating conditions are classified as
severe when one or more of the
following occurs frequently:
„cold starts,
„stop and go,
„trailer/caravan towing,
„gradients and/or high altitudes,
„poor road surfaces,
„sand and dust,
„extreme temperature fluctuations. Police vehicles, taxis and driving
school vehicles are also classified as
operating under severe conditions.
Under severe operating conditions, it
may be necessary to have certain
scheduled service work done more
frequently than the scheduled
intervals.
For example, if fuel is used that does
not comply with required standards,
the fuel filter may need more frequent
draining or replacement and it may
also be necessary to change other
components more often (e.g. spark
plugs).
It is recommended to seek technical
advice on the servicing requirements
dependent on the specific operating
conditions of your vehicle.
Recommended fluids
and lubricants
Only use products that have been
tested and approved. Damage
resulting from the use of non-
approved materials will not be
covered by the warranty.
Checking and topping up fluids
3 10-3.
9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and must be handled
with the appropriate level of care.
If consumed, seek medical
attention immediately. Do not
inhale fumes and avoid skin
contact. Keep out of reach of
children. Do not allow operating
materials to contaminate the
sewage system, surface water,
ground water or soil. Dispose of
empty containers properly.
Always bear in mind that
operating materials are
hazardous to your health.
