Engine Performance - Functional Description: Ignition: Notes

The engine features an inductive ignition system with static ignition distribution.

The ignition circuit consists of the following components:

• Ignition coil with primary coil and secondary coil
• Ignition output stage in the Digital Engine Electronics (DME) for controlling the current via the primary coil
• Spark plug connected to the secondary coil

Each spark plug is activated by a high voltage from a separate ignition coil (pencil ignition coil) that is inserted directly into the cylinder head cover and activates a separate ignition output stage in the Digital Motor Electronics (DME).
