Therefore the service intervals are fixed.
For vehicles
♦ which have not been delivered with extended servicing inter‐
vals (ESI) (PR numbers “QI1”, “QI2”, “QI3”, “QI4”, “QI7”),
♦ or for which the extended servicing interval (ESI) was stopped
♦ or for which no LongLife engine oil was used
the fixed service applies.
These non-flexible service intervals apply to all types of service
including an engine oil change.
Therefore, these vehicles have a fixed service interval display
and for maintenance the fixed service intervals (rigid
service intervals) apply. These vehicles are fitted with the follow‐
ing components:
♦ Fixed service interval display in dash panel insert
♦ Engine oil level sensor
♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)

Introduction of extended servicing intervals (ESI)
Ask your importer if the extended servicing interval (ESI) is avail‐

Calculation of service intervals:
♦ The service intervals on vehicles with a flexible service is cal‐
culated. Input values such as, distance travelled, fuel con‐
sumption, oil temperature and loading on diesel particulate
filter are evaluated by the control unit.
♦ The result of the evaluation is a measure of the deterioration
of the oil due to thermal load.
♦ Oil deterioration is the decisive factor in determining the dis‐
tance that can still be driven before the next service.
