Service tables as of model year 2021►  
A new maintenance concept has been introduced as of model  
year 2021►. Compared with the previous concept, the main  
features are as follows:  
♦ Deviating scopes of service no longer include extended ad‐  
ditional inspections. These must now also be carried out  
within the scope of every inspection.  
♦ Deviating service intervals: inspection is now always due  
after the same interval, meaning e.g. for PR-number QI4:  
after 30,000 km or 2 years, whichever occurs first.  
♦ Individual intervals of the additional work have been adapted  
to the new inspection interval.  
2.3.1  
Pre-delivery inspection  
Scope of work  
– 12 V battery: check battery terminal clamps for firm seating.  
– Transportation mode: switch off.  
– Service interval display: reset.

is deactivated.  
– 12V battery: check using battery tester VAS 6161.  
Only applies for vehicles without battery data module.  
– Event memories of all systems: read.  
– Radio/radio navigation system: store local radio stations to station buttons.  
– Time and date: set.  
– All switches, electrical consumers, sockets, gauges and other control elements: check function
