|
|
Hazard flashers
|
ON/OFF
|
TWICE
|

|
|
A/C
|
ON/OFF
|
ACC
|
AUTO selected and outside temperature (bus from SID). DICE uses the information to turn on/off the car's A/C function.
|
|
Electrically heated rear window
|
ON/OFF
|
ACC
|
ACC sends A/C (ON/OFF).
ON is sent when ECON is not selected, outside temperature exceeds 5°C and fan speed is lowest. This value is used by DICE. Note that there are several excluding conditions in DICE. Note: Because the outside temperature value is not permitted to rise unless vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h, A/C will not be requested if the outside temperature was under 5°C before the car was driven into the workshop (See activation: Outside temperature 20°C). |
|
Vehicle speed
|
km/h
|
MIU
|
Wheel speed, rear left (cable from ABS). DICE uses the information for the intermittent wiper function and for the car's radiator fan system.
|
|

|
|
Rheostat Night Panel
|
0-100%
|

|
Rheostat control module input, reduced internally by a fixed value. DICE uses the information to control the brightness of button illumination when NIGHT PANEL is active.
|
|
Night Panel
|
YES/NO
|
SID
|
Button. DICE uses the information on whether NIGHT PANEL is activated or deactivated.
|
|
Display lighting
|
0-100%
|

Information
|
Value/Units
|
Used by
|
The value depends on the following sensor input, signal or function
|
|
A/C request
|
ON/OFF
|
Trionic (petrol) ECM (diesel)
|
DICE transmits the A/C request, unit ON/OFF. This value is used in air mass regulation, compensation, to compensate for increased load. The control module also activates the A/C relay.
|
|
A/C pressure, high-pressure side
|
0-30 bar
|
Trionic (petrol) ECM (diesel)
|
DICE transmits the pressure, unit bar. This value is used in air mass regulation, compensation, to calculate load increase before the A/C compressor is activated.
|
|
Current consumption
|
A
|
Trionic (petrol) ECM (diesel)
|
DICE transmits the estimated current consumption of the electrically heated rear window and radiator fan just before they are activated, unit A. This value is used in air mass regulation, compensation, to compensate for load increase.
|
|
Reverse gear selected
|
YES/NO
|
PMM, Trionic, SPA
|
DICE sends reverse gear selected, unit ON/OFF. This value is used by the engine control system to determine if first gear or reverse gear is engaged as the gear ratio does not sufficiently differentiate between these gears. PMM uses this information to set the rear-view mirror and door mirrors.
|
|

|
ON/OFF
|
MIU, SID
|
Activation by the control module of the output to the lamps. MIU uses the information to indicate activated RH direction indicators with control lamp on the main instrument panel.
