“We got that!” – we keep this promise twice! Thanks to intelligent driver assistance systems, we ensure that your customers are safer on the road.

If the engine-check lamp lights up on the vehicles mentioned above and the error code P0603 is stored in the error memory, there are various possible cause. As a first measure, all system-relevant electrical components, including the power supply, electrical connections and ground points should be checked.

In order to remedy the problem, the error memory of the air-conditioning/heating control unit should be read out. If the error code refers to a mechanical error (e.g. B10BE07), a defect of the blower motor could well be the cause.

The pump generates the hydraulic pressure required by the power steering system to make the vehicle easier and more comfortable to steer during driving. When the engine is running and the steering wheel is in the "straight ahead" position, the pump constantly conveys the hydraulic oil through the steering and back again into the expansion tank.

To access the cabin filter on the vehicles mentioned above, proceed as follows:

• Remove the side panel (passenger side) of the dashboard 
• Unclip the panel on the dashboard (above the glove box) 
• Unscrew the screws of the glove box

On the vehicles mentioned above, non-specific, knocking or clicking noises may occur from the vehicle rear area. These are particularly noticeable when starting off or when changing from forward to reverse. Excessive play between the rear wheel bearing and the drive shaft is a possible cause.

On the vehicles mentioned above, the vehicle may pull to one side even though the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.

Light on the road is going digital. This means that, in future, light distributions will be brought about primarily by means of digital control of high-resolution light modules. As a result, new and diverse application possibilities come into play, one of which would be, for example, the ramping up of road safety.

On the vehicles mentioned above, the left fog lamp may light up permanently. Error code A98F (error left fog lamp) is stored in the multifunction control unit. The cause may be a fault in the fuse box (relay plate 1) in the engine compartment.

On the above-mentioned vehicle, the “check engine” lamp or the SCR control lamp may suddenly light up while the car is being driven. The warning message appears in the instrument cluster: "Engine start in 100 KM no longer possible". At the same time, the error code P20EE (SCR exhaust gas treatment) is stored in the engine control unit.

If the performance of the air-conditioning system is inadequate when outside temperatures are high, a faulty evaporator temperature sensor (see illustration example) may be the cause. Incorrectly measured values can cause the evaporator to freeze and block the air flow.

Headlamp cleaning systems improve visibility in the dark and prevent dazzling of oncoming traffic through stray light. On this page, find out about the structure of headlamp cleaning systems and how they work. You can also find useful tips here on using these safety systems along with information on troubleshooting in the event of malfunction.
