COVID-19 messed up my service schedule

My scheduled service this month was cancelled due to the lockdown here in Austria. Is there a way to know what items a certain service includes?

TIA

Should be in your owner's manual... If not, I'm sure your SA would tell you if you asked.

Is it possible to reset the service interval indicator in order not to get an orange indication in the onboard service book that the service was done after due time and simply do the service later?

Yes you could but thats highly not recommended. Plus it doesn't look good at the dealer if you already reset the service reminders. Its better to either get the service done somewhere else, do it yourself or just leave the reminder to get it done and reset at the same time.

If you go into the Vehicle Info>Services (I think), it will tell you what services need to be done. If they are minor, you should be able to do it yourself or have an independent shop do it.

That's the whole point: I can't. The whole country is under lockdown. Only the most essential services are operating. I was thinking about resetting it and get the service done once this madness is over.

Plenty of videos on how to reset...Or ignore it, not a big deal. Who cares if the dealer knows you reset it? What are they going to do about it...

Maybe not do it. If covered under maintenance warranty, they would not want to have it done "twice" as it shows it has already been completed.

Nah, the car is over 9 years old, no warranty whatsoever. Nevertheless, I would still like the service done by authorized dealers only (as form day 1), they might have problem if I reset the service interval indicator.

You could just buy the parts online and do it yourself, here is my DIY with the service reset, service reset is pretty straight forward
