Analogue control panel

Description 5560B

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM

The instrument panel fitted on the vehicle is an electronic component connected to the B-CAN and to the dashboard wiring and is known as the NQS (Instrument Panel Node).

The task of the instrument panel connector is to:

• receive and transmit information at the B-CAN network;
• display the vehicle operating stage;

The NQS displays the vehicle operating parameters and informs the user of possible failures in the electronic on board systems.

There are three types of instrument panel depending on the vehicle specification:

• basic level, available on Actual and Active versions
• medium level, available on Dynamic versions
• high level, available on Emotion versions and with certain options such as an Automatic Air Conditioner

Segment display features

The digital display gives information on the odometer: mileometer and trip counter.

Witth key out (when at least one of the doors is opened), the display lights up and displays the mileometer reading.

If the follow me home function is active (see paragraph on 'Displaying the follow me home function', a message indicating the length of time the function will remain active instead of the mileometer reading.

Information present on display

The following diagram shows information that can be displayed.

1 - Headlamp alignment position (only with low beams on)

2 - Clock (always displayed, even with key out and front doors closed)

3 - Mileometer information

4 - Trip counter information

Warning light diagnostic function

The instrument panel tests the following warning lights:

• handbrake on/low brake fluid level
• ABS and EBD system (where present)
• Dualdriver electric power steering fault (where fitted)

Diagnosis takes place automatically when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and during normal operation when a fault is indicated.

At the end of the intial warning light check, the display indicates the fault (in one or more warning lights) by displaying the flashing message 'LED error'

FOLLOW ME HOME function display

The control panel in place of the milometer should show 'F XXX where:

• 'F is the Follow me home fuction activated message;
• 'XXX are the seconds set using the steering column switch unit which should not decrease during the display. After pressing the steering column switch unit 7 times, the time displayed (210 seconds) should not increase any more.

The display remains for 20 seconds starting from the last time the steering column switch unit is pressed unless the function is deactivated during the display through an abort command from the steering column switch unit. This also takes place after the steering column switch unit is pressed for the seventh time.

INERTIA SWITCH TRIGGERED display management

If the inertia switch is triggered, an 'FPS on' message is shown on the display instead of the mileometer. This remains fixed as long as the operations lasts.

Control keys

Two keys on the left of the control panel allow headlamp height to be corrected according to the load carried. The keys are active with the key ON and low beams on:

• Headlamp alignment corrector (CAF -) (the light beam lowers)
• Headlamp alignment corrector (CAF +) (the light beam rises)

There are 2 buttons on the right side of the instrument panel:

• clock button
• milometer button (total/trip + reset)

If the milometer button is pressed for 2s there is a switch between the trip mileage and total mileage displays.

Pressing the milometer button for more than 2s resets (zeros) the trip meter.

Display

The display remains off with key out and doors closed.

With key out (when one of the doors is opened), the display lights up and displays the time and mileometer reading for a few seconds.

If the follow me home function is active (see paragraph on 'Displaying the follow me home function', a message indicating the length of time the function will remain active instead of the mileometer reading.

FOLLOW ME HOME function display

The control panel in place of the milometer should show 'F XXX where:

• 'F is the Follow me home fuction activated message;
• 'XXX are the seconds set using the steering column switch unit which should not decrease during the display. After pressing the steering column switch unit 7 times, the time displayed (210 seconds) should not increase any more.

The display remains for 20 seconds starting from the last time the steering column switch unit is pressed unless the function is deactivated during the display through an abort command from the steering column switch unit. This also takes place after the steering column switch unit is pressed for the seventh time.

TRIP COMPUTER

The Trip computer displays vehicle operating parametes after pressing a button on the right stalk.

The function may be reset

The following parameters are displayed: Range, Distance travelled, Average fuel consumption, Instantaneous fuel consumption, Average speed, Trip time (driving duration) The information requested remains displayed until the customer requests more information.

Procedure at start of journey (reset)

To begin a new trip, with the key ON, press the trip button in Trpi 2 mode (see 'Control key' chapter).

The 'Range' and 'Instantaneous fuel consumption' parameters cannot be zeroed.

Range = indicates number of kilometres that can be covered with the fuel in the tank, assuming that the car will continue to be driven in the same style. The message '---- ' will displayed when the following events occur:

• range lower than 50 km
• if the vehicle is parked with the engine running for longer than 5 minutes

TRIP COMPUTER

Distance travalled = vehicle mileage from the start of the new mission (*).

TRIP COMPUTER

Average fuel consumption = average fuel consumption from the start of a new mission (*), may be expressed in l/100.

TRIP COMPUTER

Instantaneous fuel consumption = expresses change in fuel consumption updated every 5 seconds. If the vehicle is parked with the engine running, the display shows the message '---'

TRIP COMPUTER

Speed = represents the car's average speed on the basis of the overall time elapsed from the start of a new mission (*)

TRIP COMPUTER

Travelling time - time elapsed from the start of a new mission (*)

TRIP COMPUTER

(*) New mission = begins after a reset command

• 'manual' by the user, by pressing the appropriate key (see paragraph on 'Control keys')
• 'automatic' when the distance covered reaches 3999.9 km or when the journey time reaches 99.59 (99 hours and 59 minutes)
• whenever the battery is reconnected

If no information is available, all Trip computer parameters show the reading '---' instead of the value. When normal service condition is restored, the counts for the different parameters resume normally without the values displayed prior to the fault being reset or a new mission begun (*).

Warning light diagnostic function

The instrument panel tests the following warning lghts (where present) and checks for faults:

• handbrake on/low brake fluid level
• ABS and EBD system
• Dualdrive electric power steering system fault

Fault diagnosis is performed automatically whenever the key is turned to MAR and during normal operation when a fault is indicated.

If there is a fault for the warning light(s) the word LED in place of the milometer and the word 'Err' in place the clock will flash in the display (at a frequency of 1 Hz, D.C. 50%) for 10 seconds

INERTIA SWITCH TRIGGERED display management

If the inertia switch is triggered, an 'FPS on' message is shown on the display instead of the mileometer. This remains fixed as long as the operations lasts.

Control keys

Two keys on the left of the control panel allow headlamp height to be corrected according to the load carried. The keys are active with the key ON and low beams on:

• Headlamp alignment corrector (CAF -) (the light beam lowers)
• Headlamp alignment corrector (CAF +) (the light beam rises)

There are 2 buttons on the right side of the instrument panel:

• key 11:clock adjustment (increases minutes)
• key 12:clock adjustment (dereases minutes)

TRIP key: located on the left stalk.

A press shorter than 1 second is indicated by 'Trip' in the function descriptions. It is used to scroll through the various screens on Trip Computer information

A perss longer than 2 seconds is indicated by 'Trip 2' in the function descriptions. It zeros the trip computer information (reset) and starts a new mission.

Digital clock

To adjust the clock, press key (11) to increase the minutes and key (12) to decrease the minutes; this adjustment begins after a few moments when the key is held down. Each individual press advances the clock by one unit. When the key is held down for a few moments, the clock automatically begins to advance quickly.

Standard video page at the key on

The information for the standard display is as follows:

• date (on the alphanumerical line with 14 characters);
• clock;
• total mileage;
• headlamp alignment corrector info;
• outside temperature;

The standard screen remains until a function requiring the display is activated.

The display remains off with the key out and front doors closed. With the key out, when at least one of the front doors is opened, the display lights up to display the time and mileometer reading for a few seconds.

If the 'Follow me home' function is active (see 'Follow me home' paragraph in this chapter), a message appears for as long as the function remains active.

Display of CLOCK function

The hh:mm remains present at Key-ON but the clock is not displayed at Key-OFF.

Clock adjustment is one item on the set-up menu (See chapter on 'Functions selectable using the 'MODE/'+'/'-' keys). hh:mm information can be selected from the set-up menu in '24h' mode (0 - 23 h) or in '12h' mode (1 - 12 h) without 'AM and 'PM indications.

Display of OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE information

A temperature reading is always guaranteed during standard screen mode. Choose between degrees Centrigrade or degrees Farheinheit from the set-up menu (see Chapter on 'Functions selectable/activatable using 'MODE/'+'/'-' keys) If this information is not present due to signal problems, the temperature reading is replaced by dashes with the unit of measurement set previously and stored (---° C or ---°F).

INITIAL CHECK

When the ignition key is turned ON, the display shows the message 'Check in progress': diagnosis of all electronic systems present on the system has started. This stage lasts a few seconds. If no faults are found, the display shows the message 'Check OK when the engine is started.

INITIAL CHECK

During the check stage at key-on, the following 'SERVICE information is displayed again.

When the next service is nearly due, the message 'Service due in' followed by the number of kilometres (or miles) or days until the next service is due is automatically displayed at the key-on (after the initial check procedure).

FAULT SIGNALS

When car faults occur, a message appears on the display describing the fault.

FAULT SIGNALS

For certain faults, a warning light present on the panel goes on and/ora buzzer goes off

The indication cycle lasts 20 seconds. If several faults recur simultaneously, the display shows each of the relevant message in rolling mode for 5s, followed by a display cycle of up to 20s duration for each fault. Severe faults are an exception and displayed permanently.

The driver can remove the fault message from the display by pressing the MODE key.

Display of ICE DANGER warning

In order to warn the driver of the possible presence of ice on the road, if the outside temperature measured is less than or equal to3° C, the temperature indication flashes (frequency 1Hz D.C. 70% ON) and the display shows the message 'Ice Danger'.

Display of ICE DANGER warning

There is also an acoustic warning (soft type)

At the end of the warning cycle, the message displays and the screen present before the fault reappears; the temperature reading stops flashing,

The procedure is carried out only once it has been detected that the outdoor temperature is less than or equal to 3° C and may be repeated only when the temperature exceeds a level of6° C and then again less than or equal to3° C.

If an outdoor temperature less than or equal to 3° C is detected at key-on, the display shows the entire diagnostic cycle specified at key on ('Check in progress etc, as described previously) and then begins the 'Warning cycle' described above.

If the 'warning cycle' is interrupted by a failure message (greater priority) then it is resumed at the end of the above mentioned failure.

Display of DOOR OPEN/BOOT OPEN function

The door open/boot open warning is emitted at the same time as the event, i.e. the display is activated immediately one or more doors or the boot are opened. The panel warning light stays on until all the doors and the boot are properly closed.

If the doors are open, the display shows messages that remain in place until all the car doors are properly closed.

Display of DOOR OPEN/BOOT OPEN function

If only 'boot open', a screen with this specific message is displayed and remains in place for 10 seconds. Once the warning cycle has concluded, the indication alone remains active by means of a warning light on the panel.

Display of DOOR OPEN/BOOT OPEN function

If all the doors are open, the following screen appears on the display.

Display of DOOR OPEN/BOOT OPEN function

If the system detects one or more doors or the boot are open during the check stage at key-on, the door open warning light comes on on the control panel but the screen cycle ('Check in progress' proceeds normally without adding any specific message about door/boot status.

When the test cycle ends, the specific message is displayed (doors open/boot open) remains for as long as the DOORS OPEN/BOOT OPEN status remains.

If the DOORS OPEN/BOOT OPEN status occurs during the test cycle with the car in motion, the doors open/boots open message is displayed immediately.

If the doors or boot are open and the vehicle is in motion, an acoustic signal is also issued.

Display of DIMMED LIGHT ADJUSTMENT function

The driver can adjust light intensity inside the passenger compartment (lighting for grapics/control panel gauges/radio/climate control) by pressing the 'MODE +' e 'MODE -' keys. The brightness cannot be reduced to zero.

The effect of the light intensity adjustment operation (after pressing the keys) is visible immediately.

If the side lights are deactivated, the display is lit 100% and it is not possible to adjust light intensity. Adjustment is possible only with the exterior lights on.

The warning lights cannot be adjusted/dimmed (light intensity always 100%)

If intensity is adjusted, the message 'Lighting' is displayed on the first rowand the light adjustmnet symbols do not go on/off. When all the symbols are lit, maximum lighting conditons are achieved.

Display of DIMMED LIGHT ADJUSTMENT function

This screen remains for 5 s after the last command issued by keys. After this, the previous screen is displayed.

During fault/warning screens (apart from the ICE DANGER cycle), display lighting cannot be adjusted/dimmed and screen light intensity is always set at 100% during daylight conditions (sidelights deactivated). The 'MODE +' and 'MODE -' remain active to adjust the lighting intensity of the control panel and other vehicle components. The message 'lighting' is not however shown on the first row of the displayand the light adjustmnet symbols do not go on/off.

Display of the SPEED LIMIT function

It is possible to set a speed limit (between 30 and 250 km/h in steps of 5 km/h). When this is exceeded the following driver warning procedure is activated:

• the warning is given by means of a warning light on the control panel (general fault) and a speed limit exceeded message 'Excessive speed' is displayed at the same time. The warning message 'Slow down' is shown in rolling mode accompanied by a buzzer.
• once the warning cycle is complete, the message disappears but the warning light on the panel remains lit.
• message and/or warning light disappear only when vehicle speed drops 5 km/h below the set limit.

Display of the SPEED LIMIT function

This procedure is only carried out once after the speed limit is exceeded and can only be repeated if the speed of the vehicle decreases to at least 5 km/h below the limit set and then increases again exceeding the limit once more.

The information for the AUDIO function is displayed.

The following information may be displayed when the function is active:

• RADIO active function messages: band (FM1 / FM2 / FM3 / MW / LW), radio station (RDS message, if available, and/or frequency) activation of automatic search or Autostore (Seek)

• MP3 Card active function message (MP3 Card message), indicating selected track number, pause, (Card MP3 Pause), Card MP3 not present (NO Card MP3).

This information may be permanently active if the NRR is working and repetition from the set-up menu display has been activated (see chapter on 'Functions selectable/activatable by measn of 'MODE/'+'/'-' keys).

The information for the AUDIO function is displayed.

At key on and if TRIP COMPUTER, SET-UP MENU, FAULTS, PHONE or DIMMER information is present, AUDIO information is not displayed.

FOLLOW ME HOME function display

The following are shown on the on-board display:

• the follow me home function activated message
• the display seconds total set using the steering column switch unit which should not decrease during the display.

FOLLOW ME HOME function display

The display of the FOLLOW ME HOME screen remains for 20 seconds starting from the last time the steering column switch unit is pressed unless the function is deactivated during the display through an abort command from the steering column switch unit.

General Specifications

The TRIP computer is a specific function that makes it possible to show certain information relating the operational state of the vehicle on the instrument panel display: The following is a summary:

The instrument panel receives the following information to calculate these parameters (input)::

The unit of measurement for the consumption can be set by the customer (Km/l or l/100 Km). See chapter on keys selectable/activatable using the 'MODE/'+'/'-' keys).

Each piece of information appears individually on the screen.

Each time the battery is reconnected, all the TRIP figures are zeroed. The measurement units set from the menu are maintained.

At each key on, the memory maintains the same values displayed at the previous key off (the displayed values are held in the memory).

The counting/updating of the TRIP information only takes place with the engine running (except for the Distance Travelled information, which is active from Key-ON).

The interval between zeroing the TRIP data once and the next time is defined by the term 'mission' and this zeroing can take place as follows:

• By pressing the button (for a time equal to t > 4 secs): the zeroing through a manual resetting operation for one of the TRIP figures involves resetting all the others (with the exception of the RANGE and the INSTANT CONSUMPTION) after which each figure is then counted independently. Resetting the 'general' TRIP also resets the TRIP B, whilst resetting the TRIP B is independent. The reset is maintained by pressing the relevant key,
• automatically: when the 'journey distance' information reaches the limit equal to 9999.9 (km or miles); when the journey time reaches the count limit of 99.59; whenever the battery is reconnected.

There are two TRIP modes (General and B), activated by the special button, with the functions listed below.

General Trip:

• Range
• Journey distance
• Average fuel consumption
• Instantaneous consumption
• Average speed
• Journey time.

Trip B:

• Journey distance 'B
• Average consumption 'B
• Average speed 'B
• Journey time 'B.

Range

The range indicates the estimated distance (in km or miles) that can be covered with the fuel currently contained in the tank and assuming that the mission will continue in the same driving style (same consumption conditions). Range is calculated using the following information:

• received from NPL: instantaneous mileage, fuel level (as a percentage of a full tank);
• received from NCM: instantaneous fuel consumption (in litres/hour);
• fuel tank capacity, in litres (calibration parameter entered during EOL programming by supplier)

The range is calculated considernig reference average fuel consumption and litres of fuel present in the tank.

Reference average fuel consumption value for calculating range is given by the average fuel consumption over the last 5 minutes of the mission.

At each key on the value memorized at the previous key off is displayed.

During the mission, the updating of the range data displayed is increased in increments proportional to the difference between the value displayed and the value calculated in order to prevent excessive fluctuations.

In particular:

• if the difference between the value calculated and the value displayed exceeds 40 km, then the range variation displayed is equal to one sixth of the difference.
• if the difference between the value calculated and the value displayed is between 6 km and 39 km, then the range variation displayed is equal to 3 km
• if the difference between the value calculated and the value displayed is less than 6 km, then the range variation displayed is equal to 1 km.

If the range is less than 50 km, no more data is sent to the user and the display shows the message 'Attention Limited Range' and simultaneously a buzzer goes off. Then the following message appears: '----'.

A - Message

B - Message and value

C - Message upon Battery Connection/Start of Mission

Range

Even if the TRIP screen is not activated, when the above mentioned limit is reached (range less than 50 km) the message is displayed in accordance with the logic described above and then the screen is returned to the moment there is a problem.

Range

If the fuel level changes (tank is filled up or fuel removed) then the new range is shown immediately. If, when the fuel has been introduced, the range is still below the limit (50 km) then no data is displayed and the warning '----' persists.

If the vehicle is at a standstill for longer than 5 minutes (e.g. at traffic lights) the last value before the stop is displayed for a set time. After this, the message '----' appears. The range calcluation remains active in any case.

Journey distance

The distance travelled by the vehicle since the start of the mission is shown, i.e. from when the user reset the function by pressing the dedicated button. It is active from key-on.

Each time the battery is reconnected or at the start of each mission, the display shows '0:0', after which the value calculated is displayed.

At each key on the value memorized at the previous key off is displayed.

When the maximum possible journey value is reached, the display is automatically reset and the total TRIP is reset, apart from the range and Instantaneous Fuel Consumption items.

A - Message

B - Message and value

C - Message upon Battery Connection/Start of Mission

Average consumption

Average consumption refers to the ratio between the distance travelled since the start of the mission and the number of litres consumed since the start of the mission. The panel acquires the consumption signal via the B-CAN network and integrates it with the time, forming a ratio with the distance travelled since the start of the mission.

The calculation is only carried out with the engine running.

At the start of a new mission due to battery reconnection, the average consumption value is initialized at the 'pre-defined average consumption standard' personalized for the vehicle / engine type. At the start of a new mission due to TRIP reset (by pressing the dedicated key or reseting one of the TRIP parameters), the average consumption value is initialized to the 'average fuel consumption calculated during the previous mission'. After this the data displayed tends to present the actual mission consumption conditions (steady state value) within 3 minutes.

At each key on the value memorized at the previous key off is displayed.

Average consumption

The average fuel consumption data displayed should be equal to '----' in the following cases:

• The user has reset the function by pressing the dedicated button.
• One of the TRIP parameters has been reset.

Instant consumptioin

The instantaneous fuel consumption refers to the value of litres of fuel consumed by the vehicle and measured during the last minute of the mission, calculated on the basis of a fuel consumption signal sent by the NCM.

The value displayed allows the user to appreciate differences in fuel consumption due to driving styles,

The control panel acquires the fuel consumption signal via the B-CAN network

The calculation is performed only with the engine running andthe data are updated every 5 seconds.

At the start of a new mission, the average consumption value is initialized at the 'pre-defined average consumption standard' personalized for the vehicle / engine type.

At key-on (during the mission) o calculate the instant consumption, in order to prevent the value displayed from varying too much, the fuel consumption data item initialised to the value for the last minute of the mission prior to key-off is used; Within 1 minute, as the mission proceeds, this the data displayed tends to present the actual mission consumption conditions (steady-state value).

When at a standstill with the engine running (traffic lights, queues etc.), the displayed value is equal to '---'.

Average speed

The average speed is calculated at the start of the mission, as a ratio between the journey distance and the journey time.

Each time the battery is reconnected or at the start of each mission, the display shows '---', after which the value calculated is displayed.

At each key on the value memorized at the previous key off is displayed.

The average speed data displayed should be equal to '----' in the following cases:

• The user has reset the function by pressing the dedicated button.
• One of the TRIP parameters has been reset.

Journey time

The journey time indicates the time elapsed since the start of the mission, i.e. from when the user reset the function (by pressing the TRIP button or the automatic reset).

Each time the battery is reconnected or at the start of each mission, the display shows '00:00', after which the value calculated is displayed.

Journey time

At each key on the value memorized at the previous key off is displayed.

When the vehicle is stopped with the engine off (key-off) the counting of the journey time is halted but not reset and it resumes as soon as the vehicle sets off again (next key-on - engine running).

The journey time count is activated by the key on with the engine running.

When the maximum possible value is reached (99.59), the journey time display is automatically reset and a total TRIP reset is performed, apart from Range and Instantaneous Fuel Consumption items.

Procedure at start of journey (reset)

To start a new journey with the key in MAR position, press the button n the left stalk.

The 'Range' and 'Instantaneous Fuel Consumption' parameters cannot be reset.

RECOVERY

If no information is available (CAN signals missing), all TRIP parameters display the message 'Not available'instead of the reading, together with a description of each parameter.

If the speed sensors are faulty, all the TRIP scales show dashes '----' together with descriptions of each scale (km for range, km/h for average speed, etc.).

If the fuel sensor is faulty, the dashes are displayed '------' for the Range and Average consumption scales only, together with descriptions for each scale

If the instantaneous fuel consumption signal is not present, dashes are displayed '------' for the Range and Average fuel consumption parameters only, together with descriptions for each parameter

When the fault disappears, the counting continues according to the appropriate modes for each piece of information and none of the figures acquired prior to the failure are reset and no new mission is started.

INERTIA SWITCH TRIGGERED display management

If the inertia switch is activated, the display shows the message ' Inertia switch activated See Manual' that remains fixed as long as the action persists.

SET-UP MENU

Set-up menu functions that can be selected using the 'MODE / '+' / '-' keyscan only be activated with the vehicle stationary,with the exception of speed limit activation/deactivation selection and speed limit threshold).:

These functions cannot be activated during display cycles for the fault messages Operation is sequential as follows:

'MODE key

After an 'intial check', the menu screen may be accessed by pressing the 'Mode' key

Press the '+' or '-' keys to navigate inside the menu

When the car is moving, only the short menu is accessible (Speed Limit setting).

When the car is at a standstill, the long menu is accessible.

To recap:

1 short press:

• with vehicle at a standstill: activation of 'full' set-up menu and display of menu;
• with vehicle in motion: activation of short set-up menu;
• confirmation of function selected;
• confirmation of setting/modification made and return to main menu screen (for the same item).

1 long press:

• memorizing of modifications confirmed by short press and return to standard screen (or screen active before pressing 'MODE key).

'+' / '-' keys.

Thei '+' '-' allow:

• selection of functions presentin the set-up menu;
• setting/adjustment of functions present in set-up menu;
• adjustment of brightness (dimming) (if pressed with set-up menu functions not activated)

Functions (e.g. clock adjustment) are set in increasingly short steps according to the length of time the key is pressed.

Timeout

When the Menu is accessed, if no setting/adjustment is carried out throughout a time of 60 seconds, the system automatically exits from Menu and displays the screen active previously. In this case, the lasting setting selected and not confirmed (by a short press on the 'Mode' button) is not stored; it is therefore necessary to repeat the operation (this also applies when exiting the set-up menu, by a long press on the Mode2 key).

SET UP MENU FUNCTIONS

Whilst the vehicle is driving the following functions can be displayed by pressing the 'MODE button ('reduced' set-up menu):

• Introductory opening message for menu('Menu');
• Selecting speed limit activation/deactivation;
• Selection of speed limit level (item only displayed if the function has been activated with the previous item)
• Menu exit.

With the vehicle stationary, the following functions can be displayed by pressing the 'MODE button ('complete' set-up menu):

• Introductory opening message for menu('Menu');
• Selecting speed limit activation/deactivation;
• Selection of speed limit level (item only displayed if the function has been activated with the previous item)
• 'TRIP B activation/deactivation;
• Clock adjustment;
• Time mode (12h / 24 h);
• Date adjustment
• Setting unit of measurement for distances;
• Setting unit of measurement for fuel consumption;
• Setting unit of measurement for temperature;
• Setting language;
• Buzzer volume for alarms / failures / warnings;
• Buzzer volume for key depression (Roger beep);
• Service interval display (km/mi/days)
• Menu exit.

Certain details are given for some functions.

Units of measurement

The following measurement units can be selected

• Temperature: ° C o °F
• Distance: km or miles
• Fuel consumption: l/100km, km/l or mpg. Measurement units selectable for fuel consumption are consistent wtih the measurement unit selected for distance, according to the following table:

Functions that depend on the measurement unit selected

The following functions are expressed in the measurement unit set via the set-up menu:

• Mileometer;
• Range for tyre puncture
• Speed limit exceeded signal
• • Trip Computer
• outside temperature
• Service (Planned Maintenance)

OTHER FUNCTIONS

The following functions can be selected using the 'MODE key with the vehicle at a standstill or moving:

• Interruption of failure display cycle (using the 'MODE button)
• Interruption of the Trip Computer function display (using the 'MODE button)

Acoustic signals

The control panel contains a buzzer that performs the following functions:

• alarm indication (fault/warning/danger);
• 'roger beep' when certain keys are pressed.

Acoustic signals may be of different intensity and frequency according to the severity and the function indicated, as follows:

• danger (e.g. doors/boot/bonnet open with vehicle in motion, handbrake on with vehicle in motion): 3 beeps x 3 times
• fault: 3 consecutive beeps
• warning (e.g. ice danger, fuel reserve, limited range (Trip Computer), system not available (EBD/ ABS/Hill-Holder), Vehicle Protection System Signals (warning messages): 1 beep (soft)

Alarm signal volume may be adjusted to a value of zero (signals excluded).

MEMORY MANAGEMENT AND WARNING LIGHT STATUS SIGNAL

The control panels memorize and transmit the status (ON/OFF) of the following warning lights (where present) via the CAN and whether or not there is a fault:

• Handbrake applied/insufficient brake fluid level/EBD failure;
• ABS failure;
• Electric steering failure.

In the case of warning light failure, a general fault warning light comes on on the panel and the display shows a message accompanied by a buzzer. After the warning cycle, the prevoius screen is reset.

DISPLAY OF INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PLANNED MAINTENANCE (SERVICE) FUNCTION

When the next service is nearly due, the message 'Service due in' followed by the number of kilometres or miles depending on the unit of measurement set using the set up menu or days until the next service is due is automatically displayed at the key-on (after the initial check procedure) (see chapter on Functions selectable/activatable using 'MODE/'+'/'-' keys)

The service information can also be shown on the display, if requested by the driver, by selecting the appropriate item in the set-up menu. (See chapter on Functions selectable/activatable using 'MODE/'+'/'-' keys) In this case, the display can always be shown, irrespective of the service interval.

The Planned Maintenance Programme includes 9 services with the following intervals:

The service information is supplied in 'km' or in 'days' depending on which comes first.

Therefore, when a stage is reached (e.g. relating to the mileage: '2000 km'), the automatic signalling at the key-on of any other stage (e.g. relating to time) which could be reached later on should be excluded. In other words, once the mileage stage has been passed, the automatic display of all intervals relating to time should be inhibited, whilst the stages relating mileage will only be displayed once passed.

The starting data for the mileage should be 20,000 km (or 12,000 miles) and should be set by the Supplier of the instrument panel.

The starting data of 20,000 km should then be converted into miles by the control panel to ensure the recognition of the thresholds used for the display signals (as defined in the next paragraph).

The starting data for the days should be 365 days (1 year) and should be automatically set by the control panel when a total mileage of 201 km (125 miles) is reached.

CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY STRATEGY

The first message is only displayed once at the key-on if one of the following conditions occurs:

• the mileage until the service is equal to or less than 2000 km or to the corresponding value in miles (as shown in the table below).
• the no. of days until the service is equal to or less than 30

Later on, the message is only displayed once at the key-on each time the value is equal to or less than the following values:

• 1800, 1600, 1400, 1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400, 200, 100, 50 km (for the corresponding levels in miles, see the table below).
• 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3 days.

the message displayed at the key-on should indicate the mileage or 'actual' days until the service. This value is therefore less than or equal to the level considered.

CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY STRATEGY

The moment 0 km (0 mi) / 0 days is reached (whichever comes first), the message 'Service Overdue' is shown again at every key on.

CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY STRATEGY

At each service interval, it is necessary to:

• reset the 'km' (or mileage) counter and the 'days' counter at the starting value (20,000 km/12,000 miles or 365 days) using the diagnostic equipment.
• memorize that the service has been carried out. A trace that the last service has taken place must therefore remain through the indication of: service date / service no. carried out / total mileage travelled. The data can be read / rewritten using the diagnostic equipment. The service number is decreased at each Reset-Info-Service starting from the starting value of 9 (decreasing from 9 to 0).

If the control panel is replaced, it is necessary to:

• rest the km/mi on the milometer.
• read the number of services carried out and record them in the new panel.
• read the counters showing km/mi and days until the next service and record them in the new panel.

If the battery is disconnected (no Vbatt), the control panel ensures that the stored data are maintained.
