Severe Operating Conditions

Under severe operating conditions, it is necessary to have some work performed before the next service is due or between the specified service Intervals.

• Constant short-distance driving or stop-and-go driving in the city
• High proportion of cold starts
• Operating the vehicle in areas with extremely low temperatures for an extended period of time
• Frequently left in idle for longer periods, for example, taxis
• Frequently driving full throttle or with a high load or a trailer
• Running with diesel fuel with high sulfur content
• Frequently operating in areas with excessive dust
• Countries with generally bad road conditions for example a large amount of potholes, ledges, bumps, and deep lane groves.
• Higher quantity of unpaved roads with poor surfaces for example bumps, ledges, protruding stones and washboard roads.
• Subtropical climate zones (combination of high exterior temperatures and high humidity)
• Hybrid: frequently driving with the electric motor with only occasional switching on of the internal combustion engine and from this higher fuel and water entry in the engine oil.
