MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

IMPORTANTThe reference time for time-dependent maintenance operations is the on-board date. The on-board date is used for the display of escalation (green symbol, yellow symbol, red symbol). In addition, the on-board date is the basis for sorting the maintenance requirements in the display. The on-board date stands still when the battery is flat or disconnected and must subsequently be corrected in the vehicle. The on-board date must be set correctly when resetting maintenance requirements. Resetting is described in the general service information.
