⇒ i2.1.4 nterval display”, page 5
2.1.1 Service identification
– Referring to vehicle data label ⇒ page 29 , check if vehicle
is equipped with following PR numbers:
The PR number is decisive for the service intervals ⇒ page
6 .
Model year PR number Service
2016 ► QI6, QI8, VI1, VI2 Flexible service
2016 ► QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4, QI5 Fixed service
2.1.2 Flexible service
The flexible service enables long service intervals, depending
on individual driving style and the conditions under which the
vehicle is used.
Note
For the flexible service, a special LongLife engine oil is required
⇒ page 6 .
Vehicles with PR number “QI6”, “QI8”, “VI1” or “VI2” are set up
for flexible service before they leave the factory. This means
that these vehicles have a flexible service interval display ⇒
page 5 and are fitted with the following components:
♦ Flexible service interval display in dash panel insert
♦ Engine oil level sensor
♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)
For vehicles with flexible service the service interval is deter‐
mined by the control unit and is indicated on service interval
display (SID) ⇒ page 5 .
Therefore the service intervals are flexible.
2.1.3 Fixed service
For vehicles with a fixed service, fixed services are calculated.
This means that the indicated mileage or time intervals have al‐
ready been determined and specified by Volkswagen Commer‐
cial Vehicles. For normal operating conditions achieving these
service intervals is technically assured.

Therefore the service intervals are fixed.
The fixed service applies for the following vehicles:
♦ Vehicles that have not been delivered with extended serv‐
ice intervals (ESI) (PR numbers “QI1”, “QI2”, “QI3”, “QI4”,
“QI5”).
♦ Vehicles for which extended service interval (ESI) was stop‐
ped.
♦ Vehicles for which no LongLife engine oil was used.
These non-flexible service intervals apply to all types of service
events including an engine oil change.

service) ⇒ page 5
Fixed service interval display (only vehicles with a fixed service)
⇒ page 5
Service at service due ⇒ page 6
Service announcement ⇒ page 6
Service interval display: resetting ⇒ page 157
Service interval display: adapting ⇒ page 159
Introduction of extended servicing intervals (ESI)
Ask your importer if the extended servicing interval (ESI) is
available for your country.
Flexible service interval display (only vehicles with a flexible
service)
Calculation of service intervals:
♦ The service intervals on vehicles with a flexible service is
calculated. Input values such as, distance travelled, fuel con‐
sumption, oil temperature and loading on diesel particulate
filter are evaluated by the control unit.
♦ The result of the evaluation is a value for the deterioration of
the oil due to thermal loading.
♦ The oil deterioration is the deciding factor concerning the
distance that can still be driven to the next service.
Note
For vehicles with a flexible service but which are serviced ac‐
cording to fixed service intervals, the service interval display
must be recoded to “non-flexible” ⇒ page 159 .
Fixed service interval display (only vehicles with a fixed service)
Calculation of service intervals:
♦ The service interval for vehicles with a fixed service is calcu‐
lated in fixed service intervals. This means that the mileage
or time values have been previously determined and speci‐
fied by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
♦ For normal operating conditions achieving these service in‐
tervals is technically assured.

Service at service due
♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert the
message “Service now” and a spanner symbol are dis‐
played.
The service information disappears after a few seconds or if the
motor is on.
Service announcement
If a service is due, Service announcement appears on dash
panel insert display when ignition is switched on.
♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert dis‐
play, the following appears: Service in --- km or --- days.
The service information disappears after a few seconds or if the
motor is on.
♦ The service announcement is displayed 20 days before the
next service due.
♦ The remaining distance displayed is always rounded to the
nearest 100 km or the remaining time rounded to full days.
2.2 Service tables
⇒ t2.2.1 ables”, page 6
Note
♦ In the past, the type of service has been determined by the
PR numbers QG0, QG1 and QG2. With immediate effect,
these PR numbers only denote whether an engine oil level
sensor is installed or not, and no longer have an influence
on the oil change interval.
♦ For combined kilometre and time display applies: whichever
occurs first.
♦ Depending on conditions under which the vehicle is used ⇒
page 31 and vehicle equipment, extra service work must
be performed in addition to the inspection or inspection with
extended scope.
♦ It is also possible to carry out additional work outside the
service intervals, but such work must be entered in the serv‐
ice schedule.
♦ It is also possible to carry out additional work outside the
service intervals, but such work must be entered in the Digi‐
tal Service Schedule (DSS).
