Analog Instruments: Notes

Analog instruments are controlled by the IKE from signals it receives over separate inputs or by data received on the CAN-Bus.

The needle of the coolant temperature gauge is centered if coolant temperature is between 75°C-110°C. Early models received temperature signals from a dual NTC sensor. Later models obtained coolant temperature from CAN.

The fuel economy indicator returns to its starting point when road speed is reduced to 5 mph and doesn't move again until road speed is above 8 mph.

Certain indicator/warning lights are illuminated momentarily when KL 15 is switched on as a pre-drive check. The indicators will switch off after 2 seconds or within 1 second after the engine starts.
