Service Reminder Indicator (SRI), adapting interval values: Notes
1996 Audi A4 Base, StandardSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2005 Audi allroad, 2004 Audi allroad, 2004 Audi A6, 2003 Audi allroad, and 2003 Audi S6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Adapt Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) as follows during pre-delivery inspection:
- The interval values (distance) must be adjusted (adapted) to the applicable intervals of 12,000 km (7,500 mi) or 24,000 km (15,000 mi).
- The adjustment is carried out in adaptation channels 5 and 6.
NOTE:
- The adaptation must be made in kilometers, even in countries where speedometers record distance in miles. To do this, convert the adaptation value from miles to kilometers.
- Conversion of miles to kilometers: miles x 1.609 = km.
- Kilometers are displayed in "Read Measuring Value Block" function 08, display groups 002 and 050.
- The specified values can only be input in increments of 1,000 km. Therefore, the display would indicate 1,000 km by a "1" in the display.
- If an incorrect value is input, "Adaptation" function 10 is ended and must be initiated again.
- Connect VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST). See CONNECTING VAG 1551 SCAN TOOL (ST) .
- Switch ignition on.
