Contents: Engine ↡ Gearbox, final drive ↡ Suspension and steering ↡ Brakes, tires, wheels ↡ Body, interior ↡ Electrical equipment ↡ Additional works ↡
The driver is notified and maintenance dates are monitored by the computer program Active Service System, or "ASSYST" for short.

Service dates are displayed on the instrument cluster display. The first message about the service date appears approximately 3,000 km before the date.

Example of information displayed on the instrument panel display:

- means that the vehicle's low-volume service period begins after 2900 kilometers.

- means that after 2900 kilometers the time comes for maintenance, which involves a large amount of work.

The amount of work depends on the mileage since the last "major" maintenance. If the mileage since then is less than 22,000 km, then only the minimum amount of work or all the work indicated in the plan by the "•" icon needs to be performed.



If the mileage exceeds 22,000 km, work is carried out according to the "big" plan or all plan items marked with the "•" and "•" icons.

As part of the maintenance, additional work marked with the "•" symbol must also be carried out, especially in cases where, after these works have been carried out, the vehicle has covered the above-mentioned number of kilometers or the maintenance deadline has arrived but the mileage is less than the mentioned number of kilometers.

After performing service work, the previous message on the instrument cluster display must be deleted and the date of the next maintenance must be entered.
