Information regarding the use of vehicles under
„severe conditions“:
–The service advisor should always point out to the
customer that the inspection intervals are based on
normal operating conditions.

must be shortened.
„Severe conditions“ exist, for instance, if the vehicle is op-
erated continuously in one or several of the conditions
stated below:
♦Towing a trailer or when fitted with a roof rack.
♦Operated on dusty, poor, muddy roads or roads treat-
ed with road salt.
♦Driven for short distances and at ambient tempera-
tures below freezing point.
–If one or several of these „severe conditions“ exists,
please advise your customer whether it is necessary
to have work carried out between the normal service
intervals, such as:
♦Changing the engine oil before the normal specified
interval.
♦Cleaning or replacing the air filter element in the air fil-
ter housing.
