General description:
The following components are integrated in the dash panel insert:
t  Control unit in dash panel insert -J285-
t  Immobilizer control unit -J362-
t  Speedometer
t  Rev. counter
t  Fuel gauge
t  Coolant temperature gauge
t  Multifunction display
t  Warning lamp → Chapter
To provide acoustic support to some of the visual displays, the dash panel features a warning buzzer, which is actuated by the control unit.
All warning lamps are fitted with light-emitting diodes (LEDs). No provision is made for dash panel insert repair. If necessary, the dash panel insert is renewed as a unit → Chapter.
The data bus diagnostic interface -J533- (Gateway) is an individual control unit option and not part of the dash panel insert → Chapter, unlike on several other vehicles.
Fault detection and fault display:
The dash panel insert is equipped with self-diagnosis, which makes fault finding easier.
For fault finding, use vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051A- in „Guided fault finding“ mode.
