than 0.5 second).
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least a
pre-warning is shown on the disp lay of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:

resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;

makes an entry in the Service schedule;

affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
The service interval display can also be reset with the reset button as follows

We recommend that you do not reset the Se rvice Interval Display yourself otherwise
this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may also result
in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note

Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.

information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of the
vehicle is disconnected.

It is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instrument cluster is
installed during repair work. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.

The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2).
We therefore recommend having the Service In terval Display reset only by a specialist
garage which is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display with a vehicle
system tester.

service intervals.
