Vehicles equipped with FSS PLUS (Flexible
Service System PLUS) only (Canada vehicles):
ț FSS PLUS evaluates engine temperature, oil
level, vehicle speed, engine speed, distance
driven and the time elapsed since your last
service and calculates other maintenance
service work required.
ț The interval between maintenance services
depends on your driving habits. A gentle driv-
ing style, moderate engine speeds and the
avoidance of short-distance trips will length-
en the interval between services.
