ervoir.

centrate and tap water and – if required – with a

turer's recommendations.

continuously stored in the remote control.
Your service center will read out this data and
suggest the right array of service procedures
for your vehicle.

mote control with which the vehicle was driven
most recently.Storage periods

such as checking brake fluid and, if necessary,
changing the engine oil and the microfilter/
activated-charcoal filter.
