vehicles delivered from 6/00 is increased for the driving mode selected by about 100 rpm when the switch-on
threshold of about 900 rpm is exceeded. This increase is cancelled again when the external temperature drops
below 32° C.
Undervoltage
If the engine control unit detects an undervoltage the idling speed is increased until the ignition is switched off
for the driving mode selected by about 100 rpm.
If the control unit SBC reports an undervoltage to the engine control unit over CAN the idling speed for the
driving mode selected is increased to about 750 rpm.

If the actuator is de-energized, the throttle valve is resting against the spring capsule. As a result the
throttle valve opening is constantly approx. 10 to 12 °. The engine speed for the no load condition is
about 1800 rpm.
D.Driving mode
The actuating motor when driving (partial/full load) regulates the throttle valve according to the various
loading conditions or according to the input signals from the front pedal value sensor (B37) according to
the position of the accelerator pedal.
E.Throttle valve damping
A damping function for the throttle valve is integrated in the ME control unit. In case of a sudden release of the
accelerator, the throttle valve in the idle speed range is closed with delay.

When first connecting to terminal 30 the ME control unit independently undertakes adaptation of the actuator
(learn the lower mechanical limit stop and full-load position of the throttle valve).

BASIC PROGRAMMING
1. Code radio. See Coding radio .
2. Set time on instrument cluster. Pull out knob at lowe r right of speedometer. To adjust hour, turn to right.
To adjust minute, turn to left.
3. If necessary, set time at stationary heater timer. See owner's manual.
4. Start engine and run at idle. Turn steering wheel fr om one lock position to the other to activate steering
angle sensor. Center steering wheel. Ma lfunction indicator lamp should go out.
5. If equipped, normalize ti lting/sliding roof. Open sunroof and hold down switch. Sunroof moves to end
position and pulls back 1/4 turn and stops. If equipped with lemella slidin
g roof, close roof and keep
