Program And Gear Display

On vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, the program and gear display is featured in a separate LC display. The LC display is located between the speedometer and the rev counter. The program and gear display is activated with terminal 15 "ON".

The LC display for the program and gear display is made up of orange colored segments (dot matrix). The brightness of the display is determined by the light switch cluster.

The information between the control units for the automatic gearbox and the instrument cluster is exchanged on the PT-CAN bus. A separate indicator lamp (see INDICATOR AND WARNING LAMPS  ) indicates the gearbox limp-home program in the event of a fault in the electronic transmission control.

The program and gear display shows letters and numbers. The program mode is displayed on the left and the drive position on the right.
