Example of Vehicle Configuration Management
Upon request by other system functions (e.g. integrated Owner's Handbook), the VCM extracts a control units list, e.g. a list of all installed control units, from the SVT-current.
All the contents of the integrated Owner's Handbook are stored in the CIC, but only the vehicle-specific contents are shown. For instance, the CIC queries whether the high beam assistant is installed. If it is, the contents on the high-beam assistant are shown (graphic illustration on the next page).
Further system functions that revert to information from the VCM are, for instance:
- Personal profile (needs information on changes to the vehicle configuration).
- Diagnostics Master (needs list of the actively signalling control units).
