| QG0 |
Vehicles that are "not" equipped at the factory with the components for LongLife service. Time and distance dependent intervals (fixed intervals) apply for maintenance. |
| QG1 |
Vehicles equipped at the factory with active LongLife service. That means vehicles have a flexible service interval display and are equipped with the following components:
- Flexible service interval display inside the instrument cluster
- Engine oil level sensor
- Brake pad wear indicator
|
| QG2 |
LongLife service is not activated at the factory. This means that vehicles have a fixed service interval display (time and distance dependent maintenance intervals). And are equipped with the following components:
- Fixed service interval display in instrument cluster
- Engine oil level sensor
- Brake pad wear indicator
|
| QG3 |
LongLife service is not activated at the factory. This means that vehicles have a fixed service interval display (time and distance dependent maintenance intervals). And are equipped with the following components:
