| Technology of the dash panel insert |
| The dash panel insert of the ŠKODA Octavia is available in two versions. The basic version and the midline version with multi-function display. |
| The multi-function display is integrated in the rev counter. |
| The following functions are indicated in the multi-function display: |
| t
| Driving time and distance |
| The basic version is fitted only with a digital clock in the rev counter. |
| An LCD (liquid crystal display) is provided in the speedometer for the odometer, trip counter and service interval display (SID). |
| The warning lights are integrated in the centre panel. |
| The dash panel insert is controlled by a microprocessor and features a comprehensive self-diagnosis. If faults occur in the system components, fault codes are stored in the fault memory of the dash panel insert. These faults can be detected using the diagnostic units -V.A.G 1552-, -V.A.G 1551- or -V.A.S 5051-. |
Note | The following description only relates to the vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552- using the program card 5.0. The use of the fault read-out scan tool - V.A.G 1551- with the program card 8.0 is similar except for specific deviations (e.g. different readouts in display, possibility of using a printer etc.). |
| In addition, the following adaptation functions can be performed: |
| t
| correction of fuel tank sender characteristic curve |
| t
| correction of fuel consumption gauge |
| t
| adjustment of service interval display |
| t
| adjustment of odometer when the dash panel insert is replaced |
| Information on replacing the dash panel insert |
| t
| The dash panel insert must not be disassembled. |
| t
| All the warning lights, which are formed of light bulbs, can be replaced separately → Chapter. |
| t
| If a replacement dash panel insert is fitted, the odometer reading and the service interval display can be adapted using the vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552 - or the fault read-out scan tool -V.A.G 1551 - → Chapter. |
| If the control unit in the dash panel insert detects a fault in the programmed memory, the read-out “dEF” appears in the trip counter. |
| –
| If the read-out “dEF” appears, replace the dash panel insert → Chapter. |
