The information contained in this publication corresponds to the state at the time of publication. All service work must be performed using the corresponding Service Plan Checklist. The completed checklist must be given to the customer without request when the invoice is issued.

Note:   MY 2012 is indicated by the number "C" (10th digit from the left) in the vehicle identification number (VIN).

In international countries, the engine oil change interval is 15,000 km/10,000 mls for all cars with petrol/CNG/LPG and diesel engines. For this use Service Plan (checklist) "INT" (cars with petrol/CNG or diesel engines). The following exceptions apply:

• From MY 2008 1/2, Agila-B, Service Plan INT Agila-B.
• From MY 2009, the interval "flex 30,000 km / 20,000 mls / 1 year" applies to vehicles with diesel engine and DPF (except Antara) in the following countries:
• Australia
• Chile
• Hong Kong
• Israel
• Japan
• Korea (South)
• New Zealand
• Singapore
• South Africa
• Taiwan

The service interval is based on use of specific engine oils, e.g. engine oil grade ACEA-A3/B3, or specific fuel: petrol/CNG fuel that complies with European standard EN 228 or diesel fuel that complies with EN 590. The interval is reduced if these fuels are not used.

Under local conditions it may be necessary to perform certain service work sooner. This publication only contains the maximum values. The GM branch decides whether certain work must be performed more often than recommend by GME based on the local situation.

• The Service Plan publication MY '99 up to 2000 1/2, KTA-2348 of January 2000 remains valid for the Astra-F Classic and Corsa Combo B MY 2001 vehicles. The January 2000, KTA-1942/6 issue of the service booklet must also continue to be used for these vehicles.

The KTA-numbers have changed because of the changed toothed belt intervals from MY 1997 to MY 2000.

Faults

If faults are detected during vehicle assessment (direct acceptance) or during inspection, these are not covered by the time allowances of the inspection.

Faults lead to follow-up orders, the cost of which must be agreed upon with the customer.

If the customer is present when the fault is detected during direct acceptance, arrangements can be made with the customer immediately.

A detailed list of faults in the direct acceptance is helpful for further decisions.

The Service Plan work for Arena, Vivaro, Movano, Campo, Frontera-B and Speedster is listed in a separate publication and not included in this publication.
