System Overview

The system circuit diagram for the outside temperature is displayed below.

The diagram is structured in such a way that only the control units and control elements directly involved in the instrument cluster are shown.

The instrument cluster receives a large number of different bus signals that provide information (speed, CC messages, etc.) for the various displays and indicators. These bus signals are requests to the instrument cluster and are therefore not listed in this product information.

The only directly connected component that can be seen in the system circuit diagram is the outdoor temperature sensor.

This input signal is read directly in the instrument cluster and made available from here to all other bus users. The outdoor temperature sensor wiring "passes through" the junction box and is processed directly by the instrument cluster.

Operation Acknowledgments

Operation acknowledgments are shown for 6 seconds in the display area in the left-hand dial. These are overlaid on top of the numerical range display and/or the on-board computer display as well as the average value of the range scale lettering. Any necessary supplementary texts are shown centrally below the dial; the basic indicator "Time" is then hidden.

Overview of Test Functions

Only the main test functions are listed in the following table.

In addition to the majority of test functions, there are further equivalent functions for which a similar display appears in the instrument cluster.

All the described test functions can also be performed via the BMW diagnostics system.

Operation and Indication

In order for the driver to be able to activate and use the high-beam assistant, the light switch must first be set to Automatic or light switch position II.

In the F01/F02, the high-beam assistant has its own activation button in the turn signal/high-beam stalk on the steering column.

While the high-beam assistant can be activated at any time with the light switch in position II, there is an additional prerequisite in the Automatic position whereby the automatic driving lights controller must have already switched on the lights.

Scheme 11

An active system is indicated by the following symbol in the instrument cluster.

Scheme 12

Scheme 12

Depending on the traffic situation, the prevailing ambient light conditions and which lights on the vehicle have been switched on, the high-beam headlights of the vehicle are switched on or off automatically by the footwell module at the request/activation recommendation of the KAFAS control unit.

Scheme 13

Scheme 13

The switching on and off of the high-beam headlights is indicated by the conventional symbol in the instrument cluster.
