sage is automatically cleared

You can also clear it yourself:

ment cluster.

Maintenance service term exceeded
If you have exceeded the suggested main-
tenance service term, you will see the fol-
lowing message in the multifunction 
display:
Service A exceeded by XXXXX miles (km)
Service A exceeded by XXX days

Vehicles equipped with FSS PLUS (

S
ystem PLUS) only (Canada vehicles):
FSS PLUS evaluates engine temperature, oil 
level, vehicle speed, engine speed, distance 
driven and the time elapsed since your last 
service and calculates other maintenance 
service work required.
The interval between maintenance services 
depends on your driving habits. A gentle driv-
ing style, moderate engine speeds and the 
avoidance of short-distance trips will length-
en the interval between services.
