Maintenance Schedules - EUROPE/UK - Diesel Engine

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled servicing. Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will influence when the "Oil Change Required" message is displayed.

NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 12, 500 miles (20 000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first.

NOTE:

Flush and replace the engine coolant at 120 months or 150, 000 miles (240, 000 km) whichever comes first.

Oil Change Indicator - RESET

Unless reset, this message continues to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure:
- Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position (Do not start the engine).
- Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position.
  NOTE:
  If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.

At Each Stop for Fuel

Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.

Once a Month

Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign of irregular wear.
Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering; add fluid as needed.
Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
Inspect for the presence of water in the fuel filter/water separator unit.
Completely fill the AdBlue Fluid tank.

The actual interval for changing engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions, and is signaled by the warning light or message in the instrument panel. In all cases, never exceed 1 year/20, 000 km. If the car is used mainly for urban driving, or fuel that is not strictly compliant with European Specifications EN590 is used, it is advisable to change the oil and replace the filter every year.

⁽²⁾	The brake fluid change interval is time based only, mileage intervals do not apply.
