Night Panel
Night Panel is used to minimize distracting light and provide an agreeable illumination in the cabin. When Night Panel is active, expendable information should be turned off and the brightness of the button illumination turned down.
The following will happen when the NIGHT PANEL button on SIDC is pressed:
- The brightness of the button illumination will be reduced (from min 65% of max rheostat level).
- The display lighting in SID and ICM will be extinguished.
- All gauges on the main instrument unit except the speedometer (which is illuminated up to 140 km/h (90 mph)) will be extinguished. This function can also be adjusted to full scale lighting using the diagnostic tool.
The tachometer, turbo boost, fuel and temperature gauge needles will fall to their rest position once the illumination has been extinguished.
The following gauges/displays will individually return to normal display:
- Turbo boost gauge in case of a vault. The engine control module will determine whether the gauge should be activated.
- Right-hand speedometer graduation if the vehicle speed exceeds a preprogrammed limit.
- Tachometer if the engine speed exceeds a pre-programmed limit.
- Fuel gauge if the fuel quantity in the tank is less than 12 litres.
- Temperature gauge if the engine temperature exceeds a pre-programmed limit (different limits for petrol and diesel engines).
- The gear selector display will light up if the gear selector is not in D position.
- Tripmeter and odometer displays if the CLEAR button is pressed for 20 seconds.
SID and ICM displays will light up if a CHECK function is activated. After confirmation from the driver, the display will be extinguished again unless the NIGHT PANEL button has been pressed.
SID and ICM displays light up if a button on SIDC has been pressed or if an audio function has been changed.
Night Panel is only active with the ignition key in ON position.
Extinguishes SID, ICM and main instrument unit displays except for the speedometer and reduces the brightness of the button illumination. See NIGHT PANEL . SIDC sends a 5V 960Hz PWM signal with pulse ratio 30% from pin 4 to ICM pin 14.
