1) To determine code number for first two positions, add applicable available equipment code numbers together. For example, to activate brake wear indicator and seatbelt warning: 01 + 02 = 03 (in positions 1+2).

2) Distance impulse number is a constant used to calculate speed indication and distance travelled. Code for USA/CDN Golf/Jetta is always 2. Distance impulse number can only be read/confirmed using function 10, "Adaptation". Refer to Distance impulse number (K number), reading/confirming .
