Location 

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

Tasks 

The instrument cluster has the following tasks:

Reading in of sensors and signals 

The instrument cluster reads in information and data via the following connections:

User interface CAN 

The signals are read in by the instrument cluster via user interface CAN (CAN HMI).

High-speed video link 

The instrument cluster is connected to the head unit (A26/17) via a HSVL line. Via this interface, the instrument cluster receives map data from the head unit.

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 instrument cluster sends information and data over the following connections:

User interface CAN 

The instrument cluster transmits information and data via user interface CAN to various control units.

High speed video link (with code 463 (Head-up Display)) 

The instrument cluster is connected to the head-up display (A40/12) via a HSVL line. Via this interface, the instrument cluster sends signals for the displays and illustrations shown on the head-up display.

Variants 

On vehicles with code 464 (Digital instrument cluster full display), the right and center display areas of the instrument cluster can be programmed freely.
