Just before the electrically heated rear window or radiator fan is turned on, DICE will send bus information "Current consumption", unit (A). Trionic T7 then calculates the impending increase in the load on the generator.

The value is converted to mg air/combustion and constitutes the air mass/combustion required to fully compensate for the increase in load on the generator.
