NOTE:

z

The actual sensor values are shown in the display field. The values in the 
instrument cluster are modified and may be different.  

z

The coolant temperature gauge will indicate 90° C (194°F), if the actual 
coolant temperature varies between approx. 75°C (167°F) and 107°C (225°
F).  

z

For vehicles with VDO instrument cluster, if the fuel level sensor has an 
open or short circuit, display field 2 displays 0L and display field 3 
remains empty.

ADAPTATION (FUNCTION 10) 

Use this function to initiate and store the following changes: 

z

Adaption of odometer reading when replacing/exchanging instrument cluster  

z

Adaption of fuel gauge reading  

Individual functions can be called up using the appropriate adaptation channel number from adaptation table.

ADAPTATION FUNCTIONS (UP TO 06.99) 

ODOMETER READING UP TO 06.98 MODELS, ADAPTATION 

z

Odometer reading adaptation for vehicles from 06.98, See ODOMETER, ADAPTATION  

z

Odometer reading adaptation using Vehicle Diagnostic, Testing and Information System VAS 5051 (all 
model years), See Additional Information, Odometer adaptation with VAS 5051.  

z

For vehicles with Magneti-Marelli instrument cluster -M73-, display field 2 
displays 2L for short circuit and 67L for open circuit. Display field 3 
displays 8 ohm for short circuit and > 350 ohm for an open circuit.  

z

Other display groups are possible, but are not required for 
troubleshooting.
