General information
The Active Service System (ASSYST) is operated via the reset button of the instrument cluster (A1), which is located on the left (models 203, 208 and 210) or on the right side (model 215) of the instrument cluster (A1). The individual menu items CAN-Be selected by pressing the scroll forward/back button (S110s1), as well as the system selection button (S110s3) of the multifunction steering wheel (MFL).

Service indicator can be called up by driver
A function requirement is that the ignition key (models 208, 210) or transmitter key (A8/1) (models 203, 215) must be in position "circuit 15R ON", "circuit 15 ON" or driving mode must be present. The driver must observe the following procedure to display the service indicator:
- Press the system selection button (S110s3) repeatedly until the basic display with the total and daily distance is shown on the multifunction display (A1p13). This step is only necessary if the basic display is not yet shown.
- Press the scroll forward/back button (S110s1) until the service symbol and the current remaining distance, remaining time or service exceeded are displayed.

Display engine-oil level
A function requirement is that the ignition key (models 208, 210) or transmitter key (A8/1) (models 203, 215) is set to position "circuit 15 ON". The following procedure is required to display the engine oil level:
- Press the system selection button (S110s3) repeatedly until the multifunction display (A1p13) shows the basic display (total and trip odometer) (only necessary if basic display is not yet shown)
- Press scroll forward/back button (S110s1) repeatedly until the multifunction display (A1p13) shows the oil can symbol and the message "Engine oil level - Vehicle must be on level ground" is displayed

- Press the scroll forward/back button (S110s1) repeatedly until the service symbol and the current remaining distance, remaining time or service exceeded are displayed.
- Press reset button on instrument cluster (A1) for approx. 3 s, until the multifunction display (A1p13) shows "Do you want to reset the service interval? "Confirm with the R button" is displayed
