transaxle output shaft. The frequency of the
square-wave signal increases with the speed of
the transmission output shaft.
The OSS sensor picks up the speed at the gear of
the parking lock.
The TCM uses the information from the OSS
sensor for the following parameters:
• Calculation of the degree of torque reductionthat needs to be requested by the PCM during
shifting.
• Calculation of the shift points.
• Calculation of the engaging and disengaging point for the TCC (lock-up function).
• Calculation of the current gear ratios by comparison of the TSS sensor signal.

functions are deactivated.
• The wheel speed signal is transmitted by the ABS to the TCM via the HS-CAN data bus. This
signal serves as a substitute value.
• When the engine is restarted (ignition switched off for approx. 15 seconds), the transaxle is no
longer in limp home mode. There is no longer
a fault indication on the instrument cluster, and
the MIL is off. However, the fault remains stored
in the TCM. If the fault is still present, limp home
mode is reactivated.
The TFT sensor

The TFT sensor is located in the valve body and
is an integral component of the internal transaxle
wiring harness.

NOTE: From the start of series production, the
transfer box will be subject to a "Black Box Phase"
and will therefore not be repaired.
To realise the all-wheel drive, a transfer box has
been flange-mounted to the manual transaxle. The
transfer box is designed as an angular gear to
transfer the torque from the transaxle to the rear
axle. The hollow shaft of the transfer box is inserted
in a tooth on the gear case. From the hollow shaft,
torque is transferred to the driveshaft through the
output shaft/output flange via crown gear and
differential pinion gear.

System Operation
Speed Control
Cruise control is integrated into PCM and
intervenes in engine management to automatically
keep to the target speed selected by the driver.
When the system is active, the vehicle can be
accelerated or decelerated without the accelerator
pedal being pressed. Cruise control is operated
using the control switch units on the steering wheel.
The PCM controls the throttle to achieve this. The
ABS module supplies the VSS signal for this.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, the TCM
receives a notification via the CAN (controller area
network) bus that cruise control is active. The TCM
then controls the transmission based on special
engine maps.
Cruise control recognizes three operating modes:
• "OFF": Control is switched off.
• "STANDBY": Control is switched on but not
active. The speed of the vehicle is not regulated
by the cruise control.
• "ACTIVE": Control is switched on and active. Cruise control adjusts the vehicle speed to the
stored or desired target speed.
Every time the engine is started, cruise control is
in the "OFF" mode. In this mode, only the "ON"
button is operable.
Cruise control is initially set to "STANDBY" mode
when the "ON" button is pressed. The green cruise
control indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up. There is no target speed saved.
Cruise control can only be set to "STANDBY" mode
under the following conditions:
• Engine speed is between idle speed and maximum permissible speed. Cruise control can only be changed into "ACTIVE"
mode under the following conditions:
• 2nd - 6th gear engaged.
• Engine speed between idle speed and maximum
permissible speed.
• Vehicle speed at least 40 km/h.
Pressing the "SET+" or "SET-" button activates
cruise control ("ACTIVE" mode). The green "Cruise
control" indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up. The current vehicle speed is saved as
the target.
In "ACTIVE" mode the "OFF", "SET+", "SET-" and
"RES" buttons are active. If the "RES" button is
pressed again, control is suspended. The "RES"
button has a dual function and is used to resume
and suspend the cruise control.
Tapping the "SET+" button (for less than 640 ms)
increases the target speed by 1 km/h at a time.
Holding down the "SET+" button (for longer than
640 ms) increases the target speed until the button
is released. If the button is not released, cruise
control accelerates the vehicle up to the maximum
permissible vehicle speed (200 km/h) or up to the
vehicle's maximum speed (whichever speed is
lower). Tapping the "SET-" button (for less than
640 ms) reduces the target speed by 1 km/h at a
time. When the the "SET-" button is held down, the
control reduces the target speed until the button is
released. If the "SET-" button is held down until
the minimum speed of 40 km/h is reached, cruise
control switches to "STANDBY" mode.
Cruise control is put into "STANDBY" mode when
the "RES" button is pressed. Control to the stored
target speed can be started again by pressing the
"RES" button again. If the "SET+" or "SET-" button
is pressed while the "RES" function is being
performed (control to saved target speed), cruise

control saves the current speed as the target
speed.
Cruise control goes into STANDBY mode in the
following situations:
• Operation of the brake pedal
• Operation of the clutch pedal
• Operation of the parking brake
• If the driver operates the accelerator pedal andthe saved target speed is subsequently
exceeded for more than 5 minutes.
• Pressing any cruise control button for more than 2 minutes
• Intervention by the traction control or electronic stability program (for longer than 40 ms)
• Shifting of the gear selector lever to the "N" position (vehicles with automatic transmission
only)
• Minimum speed falls below 40 km/h.
• Occurrence of particular DTC (diagnostic trouble code)
• faulty signal from the backup lamp switch
Cruise control is switched off when the "OFF"
button is pressed.
If the accelerator pedal is pressed down, the
vehicle speed increases. As soon as the pedal is
released, the speed falls to the saved target value. The following components supply the signals
needed by the cruise control:
• The APP sensor.
– The APP sensor identifies the currentposition of the accelerator pedal and sends
a PWM (pulse width modulation) signal to
the PCM and an analog DC (direct current)
signal to the GEM.
– If one or both of the APP sensors fails, a fault is stored in the PCM fault memory and cruise
control cannot be activated.
• BPP switch – The BPP switch tells the PCM whether thevehicle is being braked. In its rest state the
switch is closed and sends an earth signal
to the GEM. This signal is sent via the CAN
to the PCM.
– The brake light switch is likewise connected to the GEM and is opened in the rest state.
When the vehicle is braked, the brake light
switch sends a signal to the GEM. This
compares the signals from the BPP switch
and the brake light switch. If a discrepancy
occurs, a fault is stored in the error memory
of the GEM. Cruise control cannot be
activated.
• CPP switch – The CPP switch sends a ground signal to theGEM as soon as the clutch is operated. This
signal is passed on by the GEM via the CAN
bus to the PCM. This then supplies the signal
to the cruise control.
– If the CPP switch is incorrectly installed or set, cruise control cannot be activated.
• Wheel speed sensors – The wheel speed sensors record the speedof all the wheels. The recorded speed values
are sent to the ABS module via a hard-wired
connection. The ABS module calculates a
vehicle speed signal (VS signal) from the
speed values and the wheel diameter. This
vehicle speed signal is transferred via the
CAN bus to the PCM and supplied to the
cruise control. If the vehicle speed signal is
faulty, cruise control cannot be activated.

Climate Control – Overview
Pollen filter
E97258
The pollen filter must be changed at intervals in
accordance with the service schedule. A special
production pollen filter is installed in the factory,
and this must be cut through when the filter is
changed. The service pollen filter is flexible and
can be pushed together during installation or
removal.
Heat exchanger
E97249
The heat exchanger is accessible from the
right-hand side of the climate control housing (LHD
and RHD). It can be removed and installed with
the climate control housing still installed in the
vehicle. During removal, the coolant pipes of the
production heater core must be sawn through.
During servicing, a heater core with separate
coolant pipes is installed.
Evaporator assembly
E97250
The evaporator is located on the right-hand side
of the climate control housing (LHD and RHD). It
can only be removed and installed with the climate
control housing still installed in the vehicle, and the
heat exchanger must be removed at the same time.
Blower motor
CAUTION: Make sure that the blower motor
and fan assembly is placed on the bench
with the fan pointing upwards.
412-131
E101398
To prevent damage to the fan wheel vanes, the
fan wheel must not be touched. For this reason, a
special tool (412-131) has been introduced for
removal and installation of the blower motor. This
tool is pushed onto the central shaft in order to lift
out the blower motor.
