What is Service Interval?

It is given in the maintenance schedule. Some cars use flexible intervals calculated from driving conditions. Severe use may need shorter intervals. Intervals usually cover oil and filter changes, inspections, brake fluid, coolant, spark plugs, filters and belts. Severe conditions include short trips, towing, dusty roads and extreme temperatures.

How it works

The car counts distance and time and shows a reminder.

Why it matters for your car

Skipping services can affect warranty and reliability. Keep records of all services.
