This service provides, for certain markets, a convenient way to book service and workshop visits directly from your car. Vehicle data is sent to your dealer, who can prepare the workshop visit. The dealer will get back to you with a booking suggestion. For certain markets, the system will remind you of a scheduled appointment time as it approaches and the navigation system2 can also guide you to the workshop when the time comes. You also have information on your dealer available in the car and can contact your workshop at any time.
