Acoustic sensor

The acoustic sensor in the instrument panel (KOMBI) issues acoustic signals for the following functions:

On vehicles with Car Communication Computer (CCC): The acoustic signals to the Check Control messages are emitted via the vehicle speakers. The auxiliary instrument (KOMBI2) receives the signals from the instrument cluster (KOMBI) via the body bus. The auxiliary instrument controls these warnings via the K-CAN.
