Shown Starting distance and remaining distance (valid for gasoline engines) 

The starting distance and remaining distance (valid for gasoline engines) display shows these graphically.

Following each oil change, the startup and remaining distance are set to the initial value. In this case, the standard value of 15, 000 km (hatched and dark section) is entered as the starting distance (top bar). The starting distance may deviate from the 15, 000 km (e.g., 14, 000 km; hatched section) if the quality factors do not correspond to the basic setting. The starting distance may also be less than 15, 000 km if the prescribed nominal quantity of engine oil is not filled in when the oil is changed.

Under all circumstances, however, the remaining distance (lower bar) is 15, 000 km or 10, 000 miles immediately following the oil change.

The service interval is also always at least 15, 000 km or 10, 000 miles.

Via a corresponding quantity rebate (favorable evaluation of the routes), the entire remaining distance and therefore the service interval CAN-Be increased to a maximum of twice the starting distance, in this case 30, 000 km or 20, 000 miles (white section).

However, a starting distance of less than 15, 000 km or 10, 000 miles results in a reduction of the maximum achievable service interval.

Representation of warning thresholds 

Warning threshold (distance) 

With STAR DIAGNOSIS, a warning threshold of between 250 km and 8, 000 km can be set for the remaining distance.

This warning threshold is set differently for 3 different mileages. By determining the daily mileage, the system adjusts itself to the correct annual mileage (see above chart).

If the remaining distance falls below the set warning threshold, the remaining distance is automatically blended in.

Display of remaining distance 

This is displayed corresponding to the setting in kilometers or miles in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1):

• On driver request
• automatically after the warning threshold has been reached; 5 s after the transmitter key (A8/1) was turned into position "circuit 15 ON" or the engine was started. The service symbol and "Service A/B in xxxx km" appear for 30 s.
• Automatically after the remaining distance has been reached; 5 s after the transmitter key (A8/1) was turned into position "circuit 15 ON" or the engine was started. The service symbol and "Perform Service A/B" appear for 30 s.
• Automatically after exceeding the remaining distance by more than 100 kilometers; 5 s after the transmitter key (A8/1) was turned into position "circuit 15 ON" or the engine was started. The service symbol and "Service A/B exceeded by xxxx km" appear for 30 s. Additionally, a brief warning chime is sounded

The remaining distance is displayed with a resolution of 100 km or 100 miles.
