Clutch pedal switch F36

The clutch pedal switch F36 is installed directly at the

clutch pedal. The current position of the clutch pedal is
signalled to the electronic control unit by means of this
switch. The switch is designed as an N.C. contact.

ence the injected quantity control. The quantity of fuel

injected is reduced for a short time in order to improve
smooth running during a gear change.

Substitute function
If there is a fault in the signal, this reduction of the
quantity of fuel injected is not carried out.

Self-diagnosis
Malfunction of the clutch pedal switch F36 is not
stored by the electronic control unit.

Terminal DF of alternator
The signal of terminal DF is analysed only in con-
junction with the auxiliary heater. The signal regarding
available charge capacity exists at terminal DF at the
alternator end.

Substitute function
In the event of a malfunction, the auxiliary heater is
switched off in order to avoid any discharge of the bat-
tery.
