Danish term (edited):
SERVICE IN� KM.. TAGE
Selected
Perform service in ..................miles
my suggestion. I beleive the text in Danish means that the service should be performed within a certain amount of km. The km should probably then be translated to miles. Tage means take if directly translated. My car has a text that reads "perform service in ......miles"

Danish term (edited):
SERVICE IN� KM.. TAGE
service in XXX km or XXX days
(Service in ... KM ...) This sentence is in English and "could" mean that the vehicle should be serviced after XXX kilometres. While the word 'tage' is Danish for 'to take', I'm inclined towards believing that a linguistic mix-up has occurred and that the German word 'tage' which means days, has been substituted for the correct word 'days'. i.e., the vehicle should be serviced after XXX km. or XXX days. A further mix-up seems to be that the sentence reads, (service in ...KM ....) where is should read, (service after ...km ...)KM should be km. In any case, there's something rotten... :-/
