System Functions

7 maintenance operations are realized with the Condition Based Service:

For reasons of clarity, maintenance operations and their intervals will be given first (valid for EURO vehicles). In certain countries, different values may be applicable e.g. for engine oil.

STARTING VALUE/INTERVAL FORECAST CHART

Scope Interval Starting value/interval forecast Time reference
(calculated by)   Distance [km] Time [months]  
Engine oil  (DME/DDE) flexible DME: 30,000 24 on-board date
DDE: 30,000 24
Front brake pads  (DSC) flexible 40,000 - -
Rear brake pads  (DSC) flexible 50,000 - -
Vehicle check  (instrument cluster) fixed DME: 60,000 48 on-board date
DDE: 60,000 48
Brake fluid 
(instrument cluster)
fixed - 24 on-board date
Statutory vehicle inspection 
(instrument cluster)
country-specific - encodable on-board date
Pre-delivery check 
(instrument cluster)
fixed - 1 on-board date
IMPORTANT: The reference time for time-dependent maintenance operations is the on-board date. 
The on-board date is used for the display of escalation (green symbol, yellow symbol, red symbol). In addition, the on-board date is the basis for sorting the maintenance requirements in the display.
The on-board date stands still when the battery is flat or disconnected and must subsequently be corrected in the vehicle.
The on-board date must  be set correctly when resetting maintenance requirements. Resetting is described in the general service information.

General information on Condition Based Service 

Resetting a maintenance operation in the vehicle 

NOTE: First perform the maintenance operation.

A maintenance operation must only ever be reset after  it has been performed.

NOTE: Perform a reset after instruction.

The resetting process is interrupted it the time is exceeded or if a terminal is changed.

On the vehicle, maintenance operations can be reset at the instrument cluster. Here, the availability of the maintenance operation is reset to 100% (corresponds to new part).

Availability is an internal computing value (not visible for the user).

The following sequence must be observed if you are resetting with the trip meter reset button:

NOTE: Resetting increases the service counter.

Each reset increases the service counter for the operation concerned by 1. The service counter is used in SAM for operation-specific control of additional work.

NOTE: Sorting is chronological.

The order of maintenance operations is chronologically sorted. The most critical item is displayed first.

NOTE: Vehicle inspection and emissions test vary from country to country.

The intervals stipulated locally by law are encoded with the BMW diagnosis system.
