3.1. Why does the Status still show Overdue?

The status will appear Overdue if:

• The current date is past the Next Due Date - OR -
• The current odometer is past the Next Due Odometer.

The Overdue field will appear in Red color in the data entry section on the Service Schedule tab, so you can determine whether it is the date or the odometer which is overdue.

You may want to check the "Current Odometer" value listed on the "GeneralTab" to see if it is correct.

3.2. How is the service status color determined?

The Red/Yellow/Green status indicator represents the service status as follows:

• Red: One or more service schedules is Overdue.
• Yellow: One or more service schedules is Upcoming based on the "Reminder" settings, but none are Overdue.
• Green: All Service is up to date.

To determine whether a schedule is Overdue, Due Soon, or Up to date, Vehicle Manager checks the Next Due Date and Next Due Odometer. These two fields are located on the service schedule tab. The status color is determined as follows:

Red (Overdue):

Either the Next Due Date OR the Next Due Odometer (or both) is overdue. You can tell which one is overdue by looking at the fields on the service schedule tab. The text color of the overdue field or fields will be displayed in red color.

• If the Next Due Date field is Red, it means that the Current Date is past the Next Due Date.
• If the Next Due Odometer field is red, it means that the Current Odometer is past the Next Due Odometer.

The Current "Odometer" field is located on the "General" tab.

Yellow (Due Soon):

Either the Next Due Date OR the Next Due Odometer (or both) is due soon. Vehicle Manager uses the Reminder settings on the Service Schedule tab to determine how soon the status will turn Yellow in order to give you time to schedule the service. For example, if the reminder is set to "2 Weeks or 500 Miles", then the status will change from Green to Yellow when the current date is within 2 weeks of the Next Due Date, or the current odometer is within 500 miles of the Next Due Odometer.

Green (Up To Date):

The status is up to date when the next due date and odometer have not yet been reached and are not yet within the reminder period.

---

Additional Notes:

• If you have a service schedule which is due based on the calendar time only with no dependence on the odometer reading, you can set the odometer frequency to "Every 99999 Miles".
• If you have a service schedule which is due based on the odometer only with no dependence on the calendar time, you can set the date frequency to "Every 99 years".
