The display instruments must indicate according to operating 
conditions.
Phototransistor (models 202, 208, 210)
Point a beam of light at the phototransistor with a pocket lamp, the 
display illumination of the LCD displays (outside temperature, trip 
odometer, total mileage recorder and electronic clock) must get 
brighter.
Instrument cluster with multi-function display
If there are malfunctions (e.g. brake linings worn, coolant level too 
low, exterior lamp failure etc.) or system faults (anti-lock brake 
system faulty, supplemental restraint system faulty) the warning 
display with warning information is inserted in place of outside 
temperature, odometer, total mileage recorder and electronic clock. 
The warning information is displayed in yellow or red depending on 
the fault and a warning tone also sounds.

 GF54.30-P-3028GH
Displaying coolant level, function
28.6.99
MODEL 
163 as of 1.3.99
Function prerequisite
Engine: ON
Function
If the coolant level drops below the minimum mark the low ECL 
indicator lamp (A1p11) is illuminated.
To record the coolant level the instrument cluster (A1) is connected 
direct to the 
 coolant level indicator electronic switch (S41)
  via two 
cables. The 
 coolant level indicator electronic switch (S41)  
consists of two electrodes.
D
 If the 
level is correct
  both electrodes are immersed in the 
coolant. The coolant serves as a dielectric between the 
electrodes.
D
 If the coolant level is below the minimum mark the electrodes of 
the sensor are no longer immersed in the coolant. There is only 
air between the electrodes as a dielectric. Evaluation
The instrument cluster (A1) sends test pulses to the sensor for 
a period of one millisecond. These pulses are deformed 
differently depending on the dielectric (air or coolant).
The instrument cluster (A1) evaluates the pulse shape and, if 
the coolant level is below the minimum (electrodes are 
completely in air), actuates the low ECL indicator lamp (A1p11) 
after a delay of 
 approx. 60 seconds
 .
The delay serves to prevent the indicator lamp flickering due to 
the coolant moving from side to side on corners or off-road. 
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is carried out, as described in the Diagnosis Manual, via 
the simulation of the 
 coolant level indicator electronic switch (S41)
by a resistance.

Display of service to be performed
In addition to the various service displays, the service work to be 
performed (A or B) also appears.
The service symbol (wrench) appears once or twice in the display for 
this purpose.
The service symbol appears
 D
 once 
 for service
  A
D
 twice 
 for service  B
.
A service A is always followed by a service B. 
Following a service B, the next service must be calculated 
taking into account the kilometer readings. If the distance of the 
current service interval is less than 22 000 km, the next service 
is service A, otherwise service B.
This calculation is now performed 
 automatically
 in the 
instrument cluster (A1).
The path of the service displayed A or B can be processed in 
the service sheet without the need for a calculation.
There is no external difference in the instrument clusters with 
and without the service display.
If service A (one service symbol) is displayed, it is then 
necessary to ensure by means of the 
 production date 
or the 
control unit identifier
 , that the vehicle in question is in fact a 
vehicle 
 with service display
 . If this is not the case, the service 
must be determined as specified in the service sheet.
The table below shows from which control unit identifier the 
instrument cluster features the service display:
The control unit identifier can be read with the HHT under menu point 
"Control unit version".
