Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
On Board Computer (BC): Notes
The processing and display of the on-board computer functions is carried out by the IKE/Kombi. The IKE/Kombi receives and evaluates all of the BC required data. The BC functions can be called up for display on the MID or the Instrument Cluster matrix.
The following BC functions are available for display:
- Time
- Range
- Limit
- Average fuel consumption
- Date
- Distance
- Code
- Average speed
- Arrival Time
- Timer/Stopwatch
All of the above BC functions are available with the "high version", some of the functions are not available with the "base" BC.
The outside temperature measurement is no longer a BC function. The temperature is continuously displayed in the instrument cluster and is used to activate the freeze warning.
