Combined Instrument Panel, Removing/Installing

Conditions







CAUTION: Before replacing a control module, the data programmed into the old module must be read off. This is carried out in VADIS vehicle communication. Read off and note the programmed values.

After replacement, the current data must be programmed into the new control module. If the values cannot be read off, consult your supervisor or sales company or check with the customer to ensure that the new control module is configured in the same way as the old one.
