Location

The instrument cluster is located in the dashboard on the driver-side.

Task

The instrument cluster has the following tasks:

Reading in of sensors and signals
Evaluation of input factors
Output of warning tones and indicator tones
Output of signals

Reading in of sensors and signals

The instrument cluster reads in the input factors via the user interface CAN (CAN HMI).

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions.

Evaluation of input factors

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the relevant components are then actuated.

Output of warning tones and indicator tones

The instrument cluster actuates the instrument cluster speaker (H4/61) in the driver footwell to output warning and indicator tones which are requested by the systems installed in the vehicle.

Output of signals

The signals are sent by the instrument cluster via user interface CAN.

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions.
