Reset service interval display

Vehicles with a diagnosis socket in the engine compartment: On vehicles with a diagnosis socket in the engine compartment, the service interval indicator (SIA) is reset by pulses of defined length at the reset input to the service interval indicator. Time-based and distance-based inspection can be carried out individually and independent of each other (SIA reset) provided the consumption value defined in the coding data or the minimum time is reached.

Vehicles without diagnosis socket in engine compartment: On vehicles where this diagnosis socket is no longer installed (09/2000) in the engine compartment, the service interval indicator (SIA) is reset according to a defined procedure with the left-hand button in the instrument cluster (trip recorder reset button). Each resetting operation can be carried out individually provided the minimum consumption value defined in the coding data or the minimum time has been reached. The due service (oil service or inspection) as well as the time-based inspection can be reset, however, the ”reset service” (oil service or inspection) step must always be carried out first. In the same way as with the SIA reset, the time-based inspection can be reset only after reaching the coded time limit.

Due to the different display technology used, the display differs between the ”basic” and ”high” versions of the instrument cluster (IKE).
