NOTE:
The instrument cluster described in this 'Technical Manual, Diagnosis' is a system that actually comprises two components since the instrument cluster includes a so-called gateway, which 'mirrors' the CAN messages from various CAN bus systems (CAN comfort, CAN drive, CAN Infotainment) onto the required CAN. It is, so to speak, a galvanically separated interface between the CAN bus systems.
