Instrument and display lighting: Notes
So that the main instrument unit gauges, lamps and displays will be easy to read in both daylight and at night, as well as to achieve optimum bulb life, the main instrument unit's control module regulates the lighting intensity of the display according to the brightness in the cabin and the rheostat setting selected by the driver.
The rheostat is connected to the SID unit, on which the light sensor is also fitted.
The SID unit continuously sends out information on the bus about the following light values:
- Rheostat value, unit %.
- Rheostat value, Night panel (this value is not used by the main instrument unit).
- Light intensity in the cabin, unit Lux.
- Display lighting, unit %.
