If the ASSYST PLUS service interval dis-
play has been inadvertently reset, this set-

ist workshop.
Have service work carried out as described
in the Service Booklet. This may otherwise

Special service requirements
Arduous operating conditions or increased
loads on the vehicle will require some service
work to be performed more often than for a
vehicle in normal use. Such arduous condi-
tions include regular city driving with frequent
intermediate stops and use in mountainous
terrain or on poor road surfaces.
For example, if the vehicle is used under ardu-
ous operating conditions, have air filters,
engine oil and oil filters changed frequently
and chec kthe wheels often.F urther informa- Service
