The CCU is responsible for controlling the following functions:

  • Transit Mode
  • Anti Theft Alarm
  • Windscreen Wipers
  • Courtesy Lamp Delay
  • Door Open Warning Lamp
  • Key In Alarm
  • Rear Fog Guard Lamps
  • Lights On Alarm
  • Seat Belt Warning
  • Handbrake Warning
  • Rear Screen Wiper
  • Tail Door Window
  • Heated Rear Window
  • Heated Windscreen
  • Tail Door Latch
  • Window Lift

Some of the features controlled by the CCU are market selectable and may not be operative or available in specific markets. TestBook can be used to configure the CCU to enable/disable market selectable features, tailor anti theft alarm features to customer requirements and can also interrogate the CCU for stored fault codes and alarm triggers. TestBook is connected to the CCU via the diagnostic socket which is located in the passenger footwell.
