Can Communication
- AV control unit is connected via CAN communication, receives data signal from VCM and combination meter, and indicates power consumption information, etc. on the display based on the information obtained.
- The AV control unit, which has the vehicle setting function, transmits and receives data on vehicle setting condition via CAN communication with the BCM.
- AV control unit receives steering angle signal from steering angle sensor via CAN communication and performs control of possible route line in rear view monitor image.
- AV control unit receives and sends signals necessary for timer charge and A/C-heater timer operation with VCM via CAN communication.
Energy Flow Display Function
The AV control unit receives data signals from the VCM and combination meter via CAN communication and computes each value using the obtained information to display it.
| Display function | Receiving signal (transmit unit) | Display method |
|---|---|---|
| Instantaneous power consumption display |
|
Computes the instantaneous power consumption using the vehicle speed and battery consumption monitor signals, and displays the instantaneous power consumption bar. |
| Possible driving distance display |
|
Displays a possible driving distance, based on a possible driving distance signal. When the meter indication of a possible driving distance is "--", it is displayed by "****" on the NAVI screen. Data is retained even with the power switch OFF. |
| Average power consumption display |
|
Computes the average power consumption using the battery consumption monitor and vehicle speed signals, and displays it. The average power consumption is displayed only when 30 seconds have elapsed and the vehicle has been driven 500 m after the average power consumption was reset. Data is retained even with the power switch OFF. |
Vehicle Setting Function
The AV control unit transmits and receives data signals via CAN communication with the BCM, allowing the following vehicle settings.
- To turn on the automatic interior room lamp (ON/OFF) when the door is unlocked
- To adjust the auto light sensitivity (+/-)
- To operate the intermittent wiper linked with the vehicle speed (ON/OFF)
- Vehicle setting initialization
NOTE:
The setting items vary depending on the vehicle specification
