if you dont apply brakes, you can still activate cruise control just by pressing the "Set+" button & to de-activate the cruise control, you can simply pull the 'cruise' button on the side.

Hey Avindu any reasons for changing the oil and filters? Was it due for service? When was the vehicle last serviced by the previous owner?
1. I think its either 10k or 15k kms not sure! It must be in your manual or Raj and Mukesh can confirm this.
2. Not needed actually. I never top-up oils neither in my Verna nor my Safari and they are running fine.
3. Do it only if you notice the car pulling to one side in highways at high speeds , else your car is in fine condition.

The servicing cost is fairly reasonable and similar to what other Scorpio owners report on our forum. However, the delay in delivering the vehicle than expected time is too much disappointing, but not a new story at all. I had certain such experiences and thus, Now I generally prefer to get the car serviced in front of my eyes itself.

havent tried that but just a clarification.. lets say, I'm at 80Kmph. I just press the Set+ button and remove my leg, from the accelerator?
Okay, cool. Thank you![[thumbsup]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Thumbs%20Up.png "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")
30 minutes more or less is fine, but an hour and a half, was quite frustrating. Though appreciate the courtesy by the SA for providing a discount, they fail to keep the customers informed. The only thing I hoped was atleast a phone call and let me know what is being done with the car. Guess, small things do matter in a long run![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")

Hi Avinash the reason for not washing the vehicle is that you can have a test drive regarding the work done.
1. How many Kilometers once, does the Engine Oil, Oil Filter and Diesel Filter needs to be replaced?
Air filter needs replacement every 40,000 kms.
Fuel filter every 20,000 kms.
Oil filter every 20,000 kms.
2. The SA mentioned about 'Top-up', engine oil once in 5000 Kms. Is 'Topping-up' recommended?
Engine oil needs to be replaced every 15000 kms. No top up required.
3. How often is it required to do wheel balancing or alignment?
This needs to be checked after vehicle clocks 40,000 kms / whenever there is a puncture and tyre has been replaced.
Alignment is required every 20,000 kms.
Tyre rotation every 5000 kms.
4. Confirmation about using the 'Cruise control'
a. Apply brake first and then press the 'Cruise control' button.
No need of pressing brake.
You can activate it when the RPM is above 2000 .
And the speed is above 50-60 kmph.
It's recommended to activate on top gear i.e 5th gear.
b. Press clutch or brake to deactivate cruise
Is this right?
Yes pressing clutch or brake the control will be in users hands.
And while cruise control has been activated if you want to overtake a trailer or lorry you can press the accelerator pedal to increase speed.
Till 20 seconds it will be in cruise mode.
Depressing will bring the vehicle to user set speed.
'Set +' will increase the speed to 1.5 speed on ODO.
Cotton waste has never been mentioned in my bill till now.

Mukesh has answered all your queries neatly.
In my car, engine oil has been replaced every 15k kms but it has never been topped up. My A.S.S used to charge me for car wash & cotton waste, but now they have stopped that practice.
Rs. 190/- of check up electricals is ridiculous! ask them what do they do in it? i guess they will just externally/visually check whether headlights, indicators & brake lights are working!!! its free in my A.S.S!

Thanks a lot Mukesh, this information is very helpful . Not sure why I was told to top-up the engine oil by the SA and when I asked him about the 'cotton waste', was told 'Sir, for 10 vehicles its 90 rupees' ![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")

Thanks again, Raj. I'll keep that in my mind and make sure the oil is replaced once every 15k and top-up is done.
About the electrical thing, yes, you're right. Thats the explanation he gave, to check the lights and other wires.
I tested the Cruise control and its working fine

Raj i knew that cruise control can be activated above 40 kmph.
But its usually recommended to activate in 5 th Gear, As usually you cannot shift to 5 th gear at 40 kmph.
And even if one activates cruise in 4 th gear, the max speed one an do is 80-100 & after that Rpm reaches above 3000.
And above 80 kmph shifting to 5th is accepted very well.

Paid services Charges:1000 /-
OCA brakes Adjust:900/-
Consumables:350/-
Intrerior Cleaning:900/-

This has happened to me with the same dealer itself for my Verna! Once first they charged Rs.900 and next time they charged Rs.750!
So it would be carried out tomorrow.
