Description
The Driver Information module contains the necessary electronic control units and memories to control, process and
present all necessary vehicle information to the driver.
1. Information on vehicle performance is presented in visible form using the instruments and gauges. These
devices present such information as Vehicle Speed,
Engine Speed, Fuel Level and Coolant Temperature.
2. Information on vehicle status is presented by an array of warning lights.
• Red - indicate immediate danger warnings
• Amber - indicate conditions which are serious but not immediately dangerous
• Green and Blue - indicate normal actuation of items such as turn signals or fog lamps
The message centres and the shift position Sensor
display are used to present information on the distance
recorders (trip meters), current gear mode and current
gear engaged.
3. The right message centre is used to display any warning/ information message text. These text messages may be
reinforced in some cases by illumination of the
appropriate warning lamps.
The following table defines all information and warning
lamps and their significance:

General Warning
– Amber/Red Controlled internally by the DIM. It is used in conjunction with
several text messages to indicate information to the driver. Internal
SRS (Airbag) Controlled externally by the SRS module and indicates a fault in the SRS module. CAN Yes (5 Seconds)
High Engine
Coolant Temp. This tell tale is controlled internally by the DIM. Activated
when the engine coolant temperature signal from the CAN bus
reaches a pre defined value. (The
actual symbol is not lit, only
the red LED.) CAN
DSC Controlled externally by the ABS/DSC module. Indicates when the system is in operation or when it is turned off. The tell tale
is triggered by a CAN signal. CAN Yes (5 Seconds)
ABS Controlled externally by th e ABS/DSC module. Indicates a
fault in the ABS system. The tell tale is triggered by a CAN
signal. CAN Yes (5 Seconds)
Rear Fog Lights Controlled externally by the SRS module. Indicates that the
rear fog lights are turned on. The tell tale is triggered by a CAN
signal. CAN Yes (5 Seconds)
Seat Belts Controlled externally by the CEM. Indicates that the seat belts are not fastened properly. The tell tale is triggered by a CAN
signal. CAN Yes (5 Seconds)
Brake (General) Controlled externally by either the CEM or the ABS / DSC module. It indicates low brake fluid level, brake fault and park
brake. The tell tale is triggered by two low side inputs or a CAN
signal. Low side x 2
and
CAN Ye s ( 5 S e c o n d s )
Side Lights Controlled externally by th e CEM. Indicates that the side lights
are on. High side
Oil Pressure Controlled exte rnally by the PCM. Indicates low oil pressure.
The tell tale is triggered by a CAN signal. CAN Yes (5 Seconds)
Battery Charge Controlled externally by th e CEM. Indicates that the alternator
is no longer charging the battery properly. The tell tale is
triggered by a CAN signal. CAN Yes (5 Seconds)

provided from the CAN bus. The symbol is not lit, only the
amber LED. CAN
Turn Left/Right Controlled externally by th e CEM. The tell tale is triggered by a
CAN signal. CAN
High Beam Controlled externally by the CEM. Indicates that the high beam is switched on. The tell tale is triggered by a CAN signal. CAN
Check Engine Controlled externally by the PCM. Indicates a fault in the engine management system. The te ll tale is not connected to
the microprocessor. Low side
Tyre Pressure Controlled by the DIM. In dicates a low or rapid change in the
tyre pressure or a tyre pressure monitoring system fault. Low side Yes (5 Seconds)
Not Used
PATS Controlled externally by the PCM. Indicates key acceptance status. Low side
