Phase de fonctionnement en +APC

Operating phase when +APC is on

The coolant temperature indicator shows the driver the engine coolant temperature using a needle gauge.

The engine coolant temperature information comes from the sensor. The engine ECU encodes the measurement in a CAN frame and sends it to the BSI. The BSI converts the information into a VAN Comfort frame and sends it to the instrument cluster.

Special case: engine coolant temperature warning

The engine ECU determines the engine coolant temperature warning based on the defined threshold (118 °C). The engine ECU sends the information to the BSI, which transmits it to the instrument cluster.

Warning lights V12 and V22(*) come on.

(*) depending on equipment level.

Display

The coolant temperature is converted into needle angle according to the following diagram:
