Location 

The multifunction control unit is located below the right cover in the trunk.

Task 

The multifunction control unit is responsible for the following tasks:

Reading in of sensors and signals 

The input factors are read in via the following connections:

Direct line 

The signals from the following components are read via direct lines:

Interior CAN 

The signals are read in by the multifunction control unit over the interior CAN.

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Multifunction CAN 

The signals are read in by the multifunction control unit over the multifunction CAN.

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the relevant components are then actuated.

Actuation of components 

The actuation of the components takes place via the following connections:

Direct line 

The following components are actuated via a direct line:

Interior CAN 

The signals are sent by the multifunction control unit over the interior CAN.

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Multifunction CAN 

The signals are sent by the multifunction control unit over the multifunction CAN.

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).
