• This also applies to components which were changed before
the regular change interval.
Note
♦
When using “Genuine parts kits” it must be taken into account
whether it is technically necessary to change all the compo‐
nents included in the genuine parts kits.
♦
If more components are renewed than is technically necessa‐
ry, inform the customer before repair!

Severe operating conditions
If the vehicle is used under severe operating conditions some
work will have to be performed before the next service is due or
at shorter service intervals.
• Regular short trips or stop and go operation in urban traffic
• High percentage of cold starts
• Vehicle is used in areas with winter temperatures over a long
period
• Regular long periods of idling (e.g. taxis)
• Vehicle is often driven at full throttle with high payload or whilst
towing a trailer
• Using diesel with elevated sulphur content
• Regular operation in areas with high levels of dust
• Countries with generally poor road conditions such as high
number of potholes, protrusions, high elevations in the road/
deep “tramlines”.
• High number of gravel roads with poor surface quality, such
as irregularities/bumps, elevations, protruding stones, waves.
• Subtropical climates (combination of high ambient tempera‐
ture and high air humidity)

“Vehicle data sticker”: attaching to serv‐
ice schedule or owner’s manual
– Apply the lower of the two vehicle data stickers -arrow- in the
service schedule or the owner's manual.
In markets with digital service schedules (DSP), the place to paste
the vehicle date sticker has moved from the service schedule to
the owner's manual.
