The service indicator poped up today, it says i have 4 more days before "service c" is due. So i went into the service menu, it says 4 days or 12 100km before service C is duel. I had a quick look through the list and it says i need service item 3,4,6,13 and 14. The car has only done 8000km even though it is almost 2 years old. Does it actually need a new dust filter, or a combination filter? What is a combination filter anyway?


I am surprised the service indicator showed up so soon after i took the car in for an engine oil+filter change a month ago. How come the FSS PLUS calculate the days as well as the mileage as well? I thought the mileage alone will be enough?

Here in South Africa you will compromise your warranty and maintenance plan if you ignore this warning, since parts will degrade over time regardless if you use the car or not. I wouldn't ignore the warning..
