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.

no relation between individual vehicles and identified vehicle
identification numbers.
